the Whaddup:
If your idea of a good time is questing (yup, I did that) to help Mermaid LiBan back to the ocean to find her tail with the help of you, the audience, the faeries and Pirate Captain Scrappy, the morning is sure to uplift little spirits and tickle your fairy bones. After the morning show at 11:45 a.m. is the Fairy–Mermaid Birthday Party. A treasure hunt, circle time with the mermaid princess, dancing, fairy unicorn card readings, fairy face painting, snacks, frolic and lots of fun.
After the show, kids love strolling through the Water Walk, hiking up to the observatory or getting a treat (snakedogs!) at Trails Cafe. (You’ll love the coffee – Stumptown – and pie there, too.)
Tickets are $25 for the show and party, $15 for show or party only.
