The all-day experience saw excited children being privileged to take advantage of the many games in the arcade and most intriguing, Williams noted, was to see many of them for the first time seeing 3D movies.“The kids were quite fascinated by 3D; they wanted to keep the glasses and they wanted to touch the things they saw coming at them…they were very excited,” said a smiling Alli who revealed that the aim of the initiative is to afford children who might be less fortunate to gain full access to Fun City at practically no cost.At the end of last year’s school tour, some schools were presented with computers and a number of children took home bag packs. However, it is expected that Fun City will up its offerings this year and possibly sponsor laboratory equipment or some other needs of secondary level schools.The school tour initiative is slated to be an annual venture that will be offered in collaboration with the Ministry of Education, Williams said. |
