What Happens at Wish Upon A Starfish
Mermaids will swim through the aquarium exhibits and stop by to visit guests throughout the afternoon. Dance parties break out across the venue, and kids can join in whenever the music starts.
Creative stations will be set up for hands-on crafts, and glitter tattoos add extra sparkle. Kids can follow clues through a scavenger hunt that takes them around the aquarium. Photo ops are stationed throughout the venue.
All animal feedings are included with admission, so your family can feed Blue Zoo’s residents.
