Happy World Giraffe Day! Wild Adventures Theme Park in Valdosta, Georgia is celebrating this special day with their two giraffes, Bariki and Bakari, with some new animal enrichment! This large ball provides tactical and cognitive enrichment for both Bariki and Bakari. Currently, they’re becoming used to the presence of the ball, but soon they’ll be able to push, kick, and nudge it around their habitat! Bakari has also gotten celebrity status recently due to his unlikely friendship with Kurtsie, a zebra born in December 2023. The two are rarely far apart. Guests can often see them grooming one another, resting side by side in the field, or sharing hay in the giraffe barn.

During a recent trip to LEGOLAND Florida we got a chance to visit the FIFA® World Cup 2026 Experience. This experience is exclusively at LEGOLAND Resorts from June 11th through July 19th. It is a high-energy soccer celebration, featuring LEGO soccer heroes, interactive soccer games and a LEGO build activity. All of this is 100% free and included in your regular LEGOLAND admission. The experience is essentially in two parts with an amazing Lego display near the park entrance just past the LEGO shop and several interactive games in the Heartlake City near Mia’s Riding Adventure. My 9-year-old son had a blast playing the games and you’ll have some great photo opportunities across the experience. At the LEGO shop you’ll also find some great World Cup merch to take home with you as a souvenir too.
