Families with kids of all ages are encouraged to attend the first annual fan-centric Walker Stalker Con. Zombie lovers, sci-fi fans, and horror buffs don’t have to leave the kids at home for this three-day event at the Atlanta Convention Center at America’s Mart. Interact at LEGOLAND® Discovery Center and Medieval Times’ Booths, with Georgia Reptile Society and more. Children aged 10 and under even get in FREE with a paid adult ticket!
Children will love the family-friendly vendors, celebrity sightings, games and activities including:
• LEGOLAND® Discovery Center will be on site with their master model builder showing both adults and children how they can play and build with LEGO bricks!
• Medieval Times Atlanta will bring their valiant knights to Walker Stalker Con to fend off any zombie attacks and interact with children. Walker Stalker Con guests will have the opportunity to purchase tickets to Medieval Times at a very special rate of $35 per ticket (tax is included). The booth will have several photo opportunities as well as a chance to win a sword.
• Georgia Reptile Society will help kids experience the wonderful world of reptiles at their booth. They will be bringing a variety of reptiles, amphibians and arachnids for guests to see up close. They will also have some animals kids can touch, such as Brownie the Leopard Tortoise, and Leah the Burmese Python.
• Face Off's Roy Wooley (seasons 3 & 5), will be available all weekend at his table doing makeup applications to fans, as well as autograph signings and photo ops. Face Off's RJ Haddy (seasons 2 & 5), will be holding FX workshops in addition to doing makeup applications, autograph signings and photo ops at his table. (Fees apply.)
• For kids who want to act, Extras Casting Atlanta will be on hand to sign up future actors for roles in movies and TV shows being filmed in and around the Atlanta area. This could be a special kid’s chance to get into show business!
• In addition, St. Jude is the official charitable partner for the event. Children who stop by the "Raising Spirits for St. Jude" booth will see a LIFESIZE zombie cake, and get the chance to spin the "Wheel of Spirits" ($1 per spin, every spin wins a prize). This is an opportunity for kids to help kids, as all proceeds will be donated to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
