Celebrate Summer Island Style With Games, Music, Crafts And More
ATLANTA,
April 22, 2014 – Fernbank Museum of Natural History will host
Island Adventure Day, a fun-filled day appropriate for
the whole family, on Saturday May 31, from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Featuring
games, a DJ, crafts and activities, the event kicks off a summer-long
celebration of science and fun as part of the 97 Days to Play
series of events, activities, celebrations, giveaways and more.
Island
Adventure Day is inspired by Fernbank’s current special
exhibits and IMAX® films, including Whales: Giants of the
Deep, Journey to the South Pacific, and Island
of Lemurs: Madagascar.
This
special event day will provide guests with the chance to come
face-to-face with live lemurs, as well as some other creatures that
are native to the mysterious island of Madagascar. In addition to
live animals, the day will feature DJ Trey Caples, who will ensure
that all guests are entertained with island music, limbo and hula
hooping contests. Guests can also get inspired by the traditions of
the South Pacific at a lei-making station and take part in a fish
scale craft that will allow guests to create their own colorful fish
using tissue-paper “scales.”
The
fun doesn’t stop there, as Island Adventure Day will also
feature a shell scavenger hunt. The hunt will provide guests with a
unique view of the Museum. Children will have the chance to search
the Museum for rare shells and unique shell fossils while learning
lesser known facts about the artifacts. Guests who complete the hunt
in its entirety will be entered to win a prize.
To
go along with the scavenger hunt, Fernbank’s educators will have a
variety of ocean artifacts available at the Museum’s interactive
shell cart, which will provide guests with the chance to get a true
hands-on experience as they learn exciting information about the
world’s oceans.
As
always, Fernbank will supply a variety of games including a simulated
fishing experience, pineapple bowling and a temporary tattoo station.
Visitors
also are encouraged to take in the films and special exhibitions that
inspired the Island Adventure Day, including the new film
