    My 8-yr old daughter & her friend enjoyed every aspect of Starry Safari. We intended to be there for a couple of hours and stayed until closing. We watched the male zebra being fed & heard a talk about his species, including the 2 new baby zebras. As an adult, I even enjoyed a go at hula-hooping! We closed with the girls learning about creatures who live in the water & they were thrilled to make a collage coral reef. Plenty to do -- plenty to slide & splash about -- and the real bonus -- not overly crowded!! Collapse
