This is the curious moment a group of schoolchildren emerged from a hidden passage behind a wall of mattresses in a Walmart superstore.

A video shows a member of staff approach a row of mattresses and remove one to reveal a secret opening harboring a group of school kids.

The staff member is seen entering the passage momentarily before stepping back to allow five children to exit.

The man appears frustrated and is seen pointing down the aisle to direct the children as they step out sheepishly. 

A total of three boys and two girls emerge from the passage and walk away.

It is not clear who captured the video or why the children were in there, however the footage was uploaded to YouTube with a Spanish title which translates as ‘When you go to the Walmart and go through the area of ​​the mattresses.’

The exact location of the store is not known.
