Activities Happening Inside the Jenkinson’s Pavilion

The Jenkinson’s Pavilion is one of the two locations on the boardwalk where all of the Noon Years Eve happenings are coming to life! The day kicks off with two Eyes of the Wild Animal Shows at 12:30pm and 1:30pm inside the Jenkinson’s Pavilion on the stage. These educational and entertaining shows will leave you somewhat of an expert in the special animals that will be featured during the show! If you are familiar with the Eyes of the Wild Animal Shows that we have during the summer, then this special edition winter show will be a hit for you! Following the Eyes of the Wild Animal Shows, we will be having our main event of Noon Years Eve – a Mini Princess Palooza at 2:30pm! This Mini Princess Palooza will also be taking place inside the Jenkinson’s Pavilion on the stage. Free to attend, this miniaturized version of our popular Princess Palooza show during the summer is a show that you will not want to miss. Featuring a lineup of your favorite princesses, join them as they sing and dance into the start of a brand new calendar year. Noon Years Eve concludes with a balloon drop inside the Jenkinson’s Pavilion!
