Tampa parents! Are you looking for more family-friendly activities to get the kids involved in this summer? Westfield Citrus Park recently unveiled their Wild Wonders event, which is an an enchanting, imaginative and interactive family experience perfect for kids of all ages! Wild Wonders at Citrus Park is a four-week Westfield event featuring product demonstrations, food sampling, a petting zoo, giveaways, character meet & greets, and more. It features Westfield’s top retailers, restaurants, and local partners. This event is happening now through August 5 so there is still plenty of time to get in on the fun! Geared towards children and families, the Wild Wonders exhibit, in partnership with Big Cat Rescue, The Florida Aquarium, Busch Gardens, Museum of Science and Industry (MOSI) the YMCA and more! 

The Wild Wonders exhibit emulates an enchanting zoo animal topiary garden, adorned with captivating florals to invite a sense of discovery and delight. There are topiaries of elephants, lions, bears and monkeys. I am amazed at the intricate detail that goes into each of these topiaries. It is worth a trip to the mall just to see these works of art! 

One of my favorite exhibits was the “Did You Know?” Exhibit. This is a great exhibit that really gets kids to think and teaches them about animals and nature. For example, did you know that a green iguana has a third eye? I never knew that until going through this exhibit!

My son Brady and I had the opportunity to check out the Wild Wonders event this past Saturday and we had so much fun! Learning Express was hosting a creative giraffe art class where the kids got to make their own giraffe planters. It was a lot of fun, and as you can see from the photo, Brady had quite the time!

Over the next few weeks, Wild Wonders will continue with some exciting events and activities for every kid in your family! Here are just a few of the exciting events that you will be able to experience:

Complimentary Popcorn, and refreshments will be provided while supplies last by the Tampa Metropolitan Area YMCA. Feel free to bring blankets and lawn chairs to sit on the green turf during the movies! How fun is this and the entire family can enjoy this activity!
