Mermaid Mania: 7:45pm, 8:45pm, 9:45pm @ Merryland Mania<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is a must-see! Come and be dazzled by our very own mythical mermaids! They literally mesmerized the children with their agility and flexibility as they swam effortlessly through the waters of the Flooded Amazon. Here’s a tip, during the mermaid show, you may want to go ‘backstage’ to the top of the Flooded Amazon tank to see the ‘mermaids’ surface and dive down. Don’t forget to say ‘Hi’!<\/p>\n

Your Trick, My Treat : 6-10pm, around the park.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Solve the tricks to get a treat! With the whole family. Go around the entire park looking for colourful and interesting characters for that treat and trick with your family and friends that are related to the fun and wonderful facts about Safari Boo!<\/p>\n

\"s-safariboo138\"\"s-safariboo136\"<\/p>\n

Alien Inc: 6-10pm @ Alien Starship<\/strong>
\nThis program is so unique and intriguing! It teaches everyone why certain animals should be \u2018aliens\u2019 in our homes. Simply because they don\u2019t belong in our homes! The staff presented these very clearly and were very patient to answer questions as children and families learn why our homes are only for certain animals and why not every animal can be a pet. <\/p>\n

\"s-safariboo157\" \"s-safariboo158\"\"s-safariboo154\"\"s-safariboo153\" \"s-safariboo155\"<\/p>\n

Alien Funshop: 6 \u2013 10pm @ Alien Starship<\/strong>
\nHere\u2019s a wonderful program where family and friends get ‘crafty’ and hands-on together to turn ‘monsters’ into cuddly toys while changing \u2018aliens\u2019 into fashion accessories to bring home.<\/p>\n

\"s-safariboo165\"\"s-safariboo149\"<\/p>\n

Boo-licious Treats! :6-10pm @ River Safari Shop, Tea House and Mama Panda Kitchen<\/strong>
\nDuring the evening, enjoy some monster-themed goodies at the eateries here with your family and friends. Better still, you can walk away with a free plush toy when you spend a minimum of $30! This is no trick!<\/p>\n

Boo-tiful Family Pageant: 9pm, Area 51 \u2013 During Monster Boo<\/strong>
\nThis is so fun! Imagine siblings, friends, better still, the whole family dressed up and walking down the runway , all looking \u2018boo-tiful\u2019! Participants get a chance to win prizes up to $150. But it\u2019s not just the prize, it\u2019s the unique \u2018instagramable\u2019 opportunity to capture some really unique memories and photos with families and friends.

Tips to Survive Safari Boo!<\/strong><\/p>\n

1)Is there a long queue for activities? Some of these activities require some queuing. E.g. Art and Craft session at Alien Funshop and the Face Painting at Monster Boo.  You may want to go early to avoid the long wait.<\/p>\n

2) Is it sheltered? It’s held in the River Safari premise which is largely sheltered except for the distance between the open air car park and the park itself. 
\n3) Do I need mosquito repellent? It’s in the outdoors at the River Safari, if you are prone to mozzie bites, you may want to slap on some insect repellent.
\n4) Is it scary? Especially for young kids? From our experience the programs are not however some younger kids may not be used to seeing mascots etc…so you’d need to prep them.
\n5) What else do I need to bring? Well, it’s in an largely outdoor area where it can still be humid (though not hot) so best to bring along your own drinking water and be dressed in light and comfy attire.<\/p>\n

The greatest \u2018fear factor\u2019:  Hurry and book your tickets! The greatest \u2018fear\u2019 is that the tickets are sold out!<\/p>\n
