EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED!
Like what? Like a real-life sea creature with the head of a donkey, the tail of a monkey and the pouch of a kangaroo (hint: it's a seahorse). Like a restaurant at the end of a yellow brick road where waiters wear chickens on their heads. Like where you can be a pirate on a pirate ship, or a real Junior Ranger, or a mango-throwing champion. Of course, that's not all!
