The One and Only Ivan released on Disney+ this weekend and it’s a perfect film for the whole family. I am probably of the minority that loves book to film adaptations. Though I’ve never read The One and Only Ivan, I was excited to watch this when I saw the previews. My children are BIG animal lovers and I knew this would be a movie the whole family enjoyed. Since I’ve also been big about learning through movies, (Disney+ is FULL of educational content) I knew this would also be a great learning opportunity for them as well. While The One and Only Ivan is full of lessons, learning about the western lowland gorilla piqued the boys interest the most. At the end this post you can download the free printable activity packet we used.

About The One and Only Ivan

An adaptation of the award-winning book about one very special gorilla, Disney’s THE ONE AND ONLY IVAN is an unforgettable tale about the beauty of friendship, the power of visualization and the significance of the place one calls home. Ivan is a 400-pound silverback gorilla who shares a communal habitat in a suburban shopping mall with Stella the elephant, Bob the dog, and various other animals. He has few memories of the jungle where he was captured, but when a baby elephant named Ruby arrives, it touches something deep within him. Ruby is recently separated from her family in the wild, which causes him to question his life, where he comes from and where he ultimately wants to be. The heartwarming adventure, which comes to the screen in an impressive hybrid of live-action and CGI, is based on Katherine Applegate’s bestselling book, which won numerous awards upon its publication in 2013, including the Newbery Medal.

Wednesday is pay by donation day.

I didn’t even realize this was both Zayn and Brielles first time to the aquarium. Zayn was excited to see the sea Lion show. Brielle was not feeling the shark tunnel lol. It was a cute experience and took about 2 hours.

Do you have an aquarium in your city? Have you been to the NY aquarium?

I like to plan things but if I’m being honest… my kids just want to go to the pool and if there’s a waterpark?! Even better! So I’ve become a lot more “go with the flow”. Plus, I love the water too! 🤷🏾‍♀️🤣

P.S. isn’t the walkway to enter Aqua Nick @nickresortrivieramaya gorgeous? The lazy River goes right over it!

Does your family have a favorite waterpark? Or are you more of an amusement park family?
