During the two day exhibit, CoolKidz will motivate your children with arousing performances.

Busch Gardens will sponsor the CoolKidz Expo Entertainment Stage with four total shows where your children can learn about conservation. Some of the Busch Garden animals will be present to swell the hearts of the audience with good cheer. While these heroic and iconic creatures entertain your family, your children can find out how they can help protect these adorable mammals and will be able to listen to a unique story.
