Hey and friends of Wild Child! Can you believe we're only 10 DAYS AWAY from our special day? ๐ฅน
We're sure that mixed in with anticipation of all the fun in store, some of you may also be wondering about ways to save and stretch your family's budget as far as possible while you celebrate with us.
Keep in mind, this event is a fundraiser (as well as a FUN-raiser) so we've designed the day to include a variety of ticketed activities with an important goal in mind: for all the proceeds to support our nonprofit organization's mission to support local families all year long, and make sure we can keep our services as affordable as possible! But NEVER FEAR: we want to highlight several ways to SAVE during our Jungle Jubilee to keep the day stress-free for everyone!
1. Just show up to enjoy the ambience๐
We've designed some free play zones and experiences for everyone to enjoy right off the bat -- no day-of purchase necessary! You can enjoy our Outdoor Discovery Station or our Indoor Crawler Corner (set up for your convenience inside the Event Center) for free, all day long. The Outdoor Discovery Station will include a mini play structure with slide, sandbox, water table, mini fishing game, and sensory bins, while the Indoor Crawler Corner will feature a variety of toys and ways to keep tiny humans entertained. (There will be some wild animal-inspired puzzles and board games for older guests to enjoy, as well!)
We'll also have a live magic act, musical performances, and informational table about Wild Child and our partner org's offerings accessible to all, free of charge. Plus, everyone is invited to join us for our FREE Jungle Jam Closing Ceremony from 3:30-4 where we'll roar, play, and explore in celebration of 1 Wild Year!
2. Access immediate freebies and special offers with a contribution of any amount ๐คฒ
Simply showing up to the event and buying ANY amount of tickets at one of our Wild Child Outposts will help you automatically access potentially BIG savings, as each of the first 50 families to arrive will get a Wild Child Welcome Bag. Each bag will have a whole bunch of goodies inside, including a FREE raffle ticket ($5 value) to use on ANY of our awesome raffle prizes, a free box of crayons and coloring sheet, a 25% off coupon to use on a Wild Child purchase of ANY size (great if you're hoping to sign up for a Summer Camp or semester-long class), & more from our awesome sponsors! Plus, we're preparing pamphlets that will be your Key to the Jungle Jubilee, including a map, activity schedule, and a fun Scavenger Hunt your little ones can complete to access FREE Open-Play in the Museum all day long!
3. Buy a value bundle of tickets to do more activities and save!๐
While individual tickets will be priced at $1 each (to participate in a Creative Critter Craft, play a mini-carnival game and take home a prize, buy a balloon animal, vote in our Kiss-A-Pig Contest, or enjoy a strand of fairy hair), you can buy a bundle of 25 tickets for just $20 and save from the moment you step right up to our event. As you'll see in our post from earlier today, 25 tickets can buy you a whole lot of fun for your wild little ones!
4. Plan to come with friends or extended family and go in together on a FAMILY VALUE bundle --buying you 100 tickets for just $75! ๐ซถ
This FAMILY VALUE bundle is sure to cover all day fun for your little ones! They'll be able to choose their own adventure between 12 different carnival games (varied to suit every child's interests and abilities), face painting, fairy hair, pony rides, petting zoo, crafts, jungle jump bouncing fun, and more!
5. Pay it forward for extra luck at our Lucky Leopards Raffle Table๐
As a token of our appreciation to our Jungle Jubilee Partner, Sweet Souls Emporium and Rescue, we are launching our Jungle Jubilee Pet Food Drive! That's right, we're offering ONE FREE Lucky Leopard Raffle Ticket ๐๏ธ to anyone who brings a bag of pet food to donate at their Creative Critters Craft Station! This will go directly to support the sweet souls they help save through their animal rescue efforts! (And don't forget, you can also enjoy an imaginary adopt-an-animal activity right at their station, so your little ones can learn about the significance behind pet adoption & animal welfare).
We hope this information helps you better understand why this event will be worthwhile for your family to attend, and how you can make it as easy as possible on your wallet.
Thank you so much for all your interest & support in our mission! We can't wait to get WILD with you all at our 1 Wild Year: A Jungle Jubilee on June 14th!
P.S. Don't forget there's still a few more days to participate in our JUNGLE-SIZED GIVEAWAY! Go find our post featuring the mission from our mascot, Ginger the Giraffe, about how you can spread the word about our event for the chance to win 25 free tickets for your little ones! Now through Sunday, June 7th ๐ฆ
