“Visitors will be able to explore an underwater aquatic wonderland with bobbing jellyfish and sea turtles to lions on the prowl in the animal kingdom, step back into a prehistoric world with dinosaurs and a towering volcano to a encounters with colourful fairies and unicorns,” he said.

A portion of all ticket sales will be dedicated to supporting the ‘Baby Give Back’ Charity, helping to give children a safe start to life by providing essential items to families in crisis.
“As a father of two young children, I’ve experienced first-hand the enchantment that a child’s imagination can bring,” Mr Crocker said.
“We are incredibly excited to transform Broadwater Parklands into a magical wonderland to nurture these imaginations.
“We are thrilled to be able to support a local charity ‘Baby Give Back’ and be able to make a difference to families that need support, making sure the magic of this event reaches further beyond the gardens.”
