Wildlife World Zoo: Behind the Scene Tour and Dinner!! Whoo ho!
Its been a while in the making but I finally have everything worked out for an exclusive behind the scenes tour of the new amazing 180,000 gallons worth of aquariums at the Wildlife World Zoo!!!
***I must have at least 10 people in order to get the group pricing. So PLEASE if you add your name to the list please make sure you can be there. I know its a bit far for some, but after all its a GREAT opportunity to get a glimpse of our tanks on a MUCH larger scale! I spoke personally with Mickey the director of the zoo and he was FANTASTIC! VERY friendly and he was excited to have FRAG visit the new aquarium. I went yesterday and was generally very impressed with the set up. They have several very cool displays and all the animals seemed to be out and about. I wanted to throw on a wetsuit and dive into that big shark tank so bad! I will post pictures below this post... Here are the details: (Please sign up below, I need an accurate head count.) Date: Saturday, October 3rd Time: 1:00 Arrive at WWZ walk around and view the aquarium exhibits. 3:00 Gather for the Behind the Scene tour hosted by the head of the Aquarium. If it is a large group we will split into 2 or more smaller groups for the tour. 5:30 (approx) Meet in Tiburon for food and drinks. Price: (This is a Group Rate and we must have 10 or more people) Aquarium ONLY $15.00 (Kids 3-13 $8.00) Aquarium and Zoo Admission: $20.00 (Kids 3-13 $10.00) After 5:00 all rides are $2.00 Dinner/Drinks: For those who would like to stay and have a bite to eat or a cold beer at Tiburon... please check out the website for the menu and pricing: http://www.tiburonrestaurant.net/ This restaurant is built with half of the 60,000 shark tank in the main dining room and the sharks swim right past your table. Very cool! I had the burger ($9.00) and it rivaled Pranksters!!! I know right! It is a little pricey but the food is above average. The restaurant fills up fast in the evenings and they do not take reservations so I HOPE that if we meet by 5:30ish we will be able to be seated in the room with the shark tank. They also have a great bar and the outside looks over the flamingo exhibit.. VERY nice! Here are a few pics that I took to hopefully get everyone pumped up! Please MAKE SURE YOU ADD YOUR NAME TO THE LIST, and as always let me know if you have any questions! Thanks everyone and I hope to see you all there! If anything changes I will be posting in this thread, so please check back. Last edited by Helfrichs Chic; 08/27/2009 at 09:43 PM. |
