Singapore’s first merry-not-scary Halloween event for kids returns for the third year with two new educational performances; catch aliens, monsters, and even mermaids both real and imagined!
Come dressed in out-of-this-world costumes as a family and be astonished by the quirky aliens and friendly monsters at River Safari’s annual Safari Boo this October!
Safari Boo 2016 features two all-new shows: Monster Boo! and Mermaid Mania. In the interactive Monster Boo! , kids can join forces with monsters, aliens and their animal friends such as the slithery python, scaly iguana and mischievous pelican in their battle against the evil Doctor V. Mermaid Mania will feature a choreographed underwater musical performance by mermaids.
Be mesmerized by the beauty and grace of the mermaids of myth as they swim amongst their real-life counterparts – the manatees.
At the activity booths, solve the mysteries of real-life aliens—invasive animal species—which do not belong and why they shouldn’t be kept as illegal pets. Kids can also try blending in with the new alien and monster inhabitants with face painting and other craft activities. Safari Boo offers plenty of photo opportunities such as mascot meet and greets with alien characters, a giant crashed alien spaceship and animal appearances.
Families are encouraged to come dressed to theme—Aliens and Monsters—for a chance to participate in the Boo-tiful Family Pageant.
