where visitors travel through various booths that are named for Asian
cultural interactive activities and feature traditional foods and art
for each one. Children/adults will receive a stamp in their Festival
passport for each cultural booth visited. Children are encouraged to
visit all cultural booths to learn about the diversity of cultural
traditions. Our Thailand booth will show you how they cerebrate Happy
New year in Thailand. Water Gun fight. Please bring your bathing suit.
