NATIONAL TOM FOOLERYS DAY
April 1 is National Tom Foolerys Day on the National Day Calendar, and we are celebrating with harmless pranks, silly tricks, shenanigans, and, of course, tomfoolery. April 1 also happens to be the birthday of Tom Foolery, a character developed by Kalahari Resorts, home to America’s largest indoor waterparks. This is no April Fool’s joke! We are dedicating an entire day to celebrating the spirit of adventure, play, and a little bit of trickery, in all of us.
#TOMFOOLERYSDAY
Tom Foolery is a real 14-year-old person, at least at Kalahari Resorts. Tom’s character was introduced through a series of comic books that tell the stories and adventures of the Foolery family as they travel across the universe. After the success of the comic books, the vision for Tom Foolery expanded. Kalahari’s entertainment team, world-class animators, and creatives collaborated to achieve one goal--bring the adventures of the Foolery family to life by creating Tom Foolerys Adventure Parks.
Kalahari Resorts was determined to bring the Tom Foolery stories and adventures to life at their anticipated Tom Foolerys Adventure Parks. In fact, they insisted each location represents the epic adventures the Foolery family had in the comic books. Today, you will find a Tom Foolerys Adventure Park within Kalahari Resort locations as a complete universe where the Foolery family lives, thrives, and shares adventures with guests.
The word “tomfoolery” is defined as “silly behavior.” National Tom Foolerys Day is a day that allows us to laugh, have fun, and enjoy the silliness in day-to-day moments.
A healthy sense of humor is good for the soul. Laughing is scientifically proven to relieve stress and improve mental health. On National Tom Foolerys Day, find your spirit of adventure and tap into your playfulness. Maybe even participate in a little bit of harmless trickery.
