read moreAustralia Zoo will be transformed into a winter wonderland during the 2016 June/July school holidays to coincide with the launch of the 20th Century Fox movie ‘Ice Age 5: Collision Course’.
Thanks to a partnership with 20th Century Fox and Visit Sunshine Coast, Australia Zoo will be themed with a wide variety of snow related activities incorporated into the Park’s daily programs including toboggan rides, snowball activities and much, much more.
Australia Zoo’s Director of Marketing, Darren Gertler, is optimistic about the opportunities this partnership will bring not only for Australia Zoo but also the Sunshine Coast region.
Gertler explains “we’re particularly excited about this partnership and the global exposure it will create.
“20th Century Fox is also very excited to join forces with Australia Zoo, noting the synergies between the two brands.
“Bringing Ice Age: Collision Course to life at Australia Zoo will engage families leading up to the cinema release, promote the region on a world stage and showcase our amazing animals with their ties to the Ice Age characters.”
Visit Sunshine Coast Chief Executive Simon Ambrose, said the promotion was another example of the Sunshine Coast displaying its diversity, with great events and activities blending easily with the region’s natural attractions.
Ambrose added “most visitors to the Sunshine Coast in June and July are getting away from the cold, because of our renowned mild and sunny winters, so this really will be a first for kids and adults alike – a white winter on the Sunshine Coast.
“This is a tremendous example of Australia Zoo being a great innovator; offering visitors the rather remarkable combination of being able to swim at the beach in the morning, watch a crocodile show over lunch and throw snowballs in the afternoon.”
Hollywood’s presence on the Sunshine Coast follows the success of Bindi Irwin on American TV screens, as she danced her way to victory in the USA Dancing With The Stars national program.
Further details specifically about the event at Australia Zoo will be available closer to the date.
Ice Age: Collision Course will get its cinema release across Australia in late June.
