Get Wet & Wild this summer in unexpected places!

The Parks at Chehaw, the Flint Riverquarium, and various local hotels are partnering this summer to launch a “staycation” like no other! The Wet & Wild Weekend Getaway promotion was created by staff from The Parks at Chehaw, the Flint Riverquarium, and the Albany CVB in an effort to promote tourism and help families all over Georgia find fun things to do this summer closer to home.

The Wet & Wild Weekend Getaway includes a one night stay at participating hotels PLUS a family pack of four tickets (additional tickets are $10 per person) to visit The Parks at Chehaw, the Flint Riverquarium, and the Imagination Theater. Families can take a walk on the wild side at The Parks at Chehaw and visit with the newest additions to the Chehaw family, the African Servals. Then, families can discover the underwater world of the Flint Riverquarium and come face to face with the fish and experience nature larger than life on the big screen at the Riverquarium’s Imagination Theater, now showing Whales.

The Wet and Wild Weekend Getaway packages can be purchased through each participating hotel. This promotion will run from July 7 to September 1, 2008. Package prices range from $90 at the Sleep Inn to $140 at the Hilton Garden Inn.
