There's no better place to be a kid than Cypress Gardens, as Kidzpalooza kicks off in spring 2008. This pint-sized festival of fun features more hands-on activities than ever, bigger and better shows, a daily party zone and tons of crazy fun. Add to that all the rides, animals and Splash Island Water Park and it's a kid's paradise!

Embark on a scavenger hunt of arts & crafts, full of hands-on activities such as "Picasso Palooza," the giant coloring wall, "Made in the Shade," a visor-making opportunity, "Build-A-rang," boomerang decorating, "Colo-Rama" sidewalk chalk, "Sand Blast" sand art, "Safari Bling" necklace making and a whole lot more! With even more activities to choose from this year, kids are sure to find something they enjoy. And once all the projects are complete there"s a special ice cream treat waiting to be enjoyed.

Shows include the super-sloppy challenge of "Gunk'd" and the imagination-tickling "Story Time LIVE." "Gunk'd" pits two teams against each other in a series of marvelously messy undertakings. Don't lose — you'll end up "Gunk'd!" In "Story Time LIVE," audiences will be treated to the antics of Jeff and Sara, an adventurous pair who always end up in mischief.

Join the Bugsville gang for a party every Kidzpalooza day! "Buzzby's Party Zone" includes plenty of dance music, games, prizes and, of course, Buzzby, Lady B and Whiff. And if you feel the need to go to school (yeah, right!) we have two of the best around! "Inside Shazzam" teaches you the inside scoop on the magical and mystical and "Clown U" gives top grades for being the silliest class clown!
