As families journey through the bilingual English-Spanish experience, they will enjoy activities inspired by the show—Daniel Tiger's signature strategies to introduce life lessons are paired with wildlife exploration. Participants can learn about animals through interactive play and enjoy photo opportunities with Daniel and his friends.
"Daniel Tiger brings a message of imagination, learning and discovery that aligns beautifully with our mission and we're thrilled to be where this new adventure begins," Meghann Kelley-DiSalvo, the Wildlife Conservation Society's Director of Marketing said in a statement.
The experience includes a live show featuring Daniel and Katerina Kittycat as they explore habitats around the world. Guests can also participate in character meet-and-greets and purchase Daniel Tiger merchandise.
The event is made possible through a partnership between the educational experts at Fred Rogers Productions and the entertainment gurus at RWS Global. Fred Rogers Productions was founded by Fred Rogers in 1971 as the non-profit producer of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood for PBS.
"Fred Rogers Productions strives to create media and experiences that model kindness, respect, and an enthusiasm for learning, and our partnership with RWS delivers on that mission in a way that meets families where they are," said Christopher Arnold, the COO of Fred Rodgers Productions.
