Six Flags Great Adventure to Host Fifth-Annual‘Grape Adventure’ Wine and Food Festival

Picture
Wine and theme parks and animals, does it really get any better than that?

Plus it's your Last Chance to See Adorable Giraffe Calf ‘Mika’ Before Spring



What:             
The region’s most unique wine festival, Six Flags Grape Adventure, offers guests a special opportunity to sample local wines, food and gifts partnered with a V.I.P. safari experience that includes giraffe feeding Nov. 8 and 9, 2014. The event is also the last opportunity for guests to see the safari’s newest resident – an adorable giraffe calf named Mika – before spring.
Picture
The festival features 14 New Jersey vineyards with nearly 150 locally-produced wines for sampling, handcrafted gifts from local artisans and an array of dishes from specialty food truck vendors. Visitors can purchase an upgraded safari package which includes a private tour of the 350-acre safari, a special wine tasting at Camp Aventura with a view of African plains animals including giraffes, zebras, Ankoli cattle, kudu, springbuck, gnu and more, plus an unforgettable, face-to-face giraffe feeding experience.
Picture
Weather permitting, guests can catch a glimpse of the Six Flags Safari’s latest addition, a female reticulated giraffe born at the wildlife preserve Oct. 11 to first-time mom Noel. “Mika” was born measuring 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighing approximately 125 lbs. She currently stands just under 6 feet tall. According to Safari Supervisor Jason Holloway, Noel is nursing and both mom and baby are very healthy. Mika is the Safari’s ninth giraffe.

Reticulated giraffes, also known as Somali giraffes, are native to northeastern Kenya, southern Ethiopia and Somalia. They possess a distinctive coat pattern featuring red-brown polygonal patches divided by thin white lines. Full-grown female giraffes stand approximately 16 feet tall and weigh approximately 1,800 lbs.

The fifth-annual Grape Adventure event follows the official ending of the 2014 Great Adventure season, and the theme park is not operational during this event.
