Wild Safari Family Event at the California Science Center

Enhancing the 3D Experience With 4D Fun

Event: Wild Safari Family Event -- June 26, 2005, 12 to 4 pm. Free
activities, giveaways, games, and a showcase of live animals
native to Africa highlight the opening weekend of the new
IMAX film Wild Safari 3D: A South African Adventure. If
you've always wanted to go on safari, but never had the
chance, leave your passport at home and let the California
Science Center bring Africa to you.

Visitors can see a full-grown lioness, courtesy of the
Wildlife Waystation, from 12 to 2 pm. Lion handlers will be
on site to answer questions. Other live African animals will
include an African Serval, Ball Python, Emperor Scorpion,
Fennec Fox and Fat Tailed Gecko (12 to 4 pm). Kids will
enjoy animal themed craft activities and face painting in
addition to learning about African wildlife.

Film: Wild Safari 3D: A South African Adventure takes the audience
on a three thousand mile journey in search for Africa's most
dangerous animals. With groundbreaking 3D technology,
viewers feel as if they are in the passenger seat of an
open-air safari vehicle, just inches away from breathtaking
wildlife. Opens June 24, 2005.
