River
and Ocean Journey
If you really want to impress your guests on your wedding day,
treat them to a spectacular night on the river. Your guests can
start out with cocktails and hors d’oeuvres inside Ocean
Journey while perusing through our lagoon area petting baby sharks
and stingrays; strolling through a luscious garden bursting with
butterflies; then heading downstairs to discover a world teeming
with sea life.
Next,
your guests can wander over to River Journey and continue their
evening where river otters swim and play inside a cove forest,
alligators and snapping turtles lurk inside a delta swamp, and
amazing seahorses and sea dragons shine. Then, gather round for
a night of toasting, dining and dancing.
