We hope you're planning to join us for our annual spring festival featuring the biggest and best egg hunts in town. Historically, this upcoming weekend is a busy one at the Zoo, so we've put together tips and hints to help make your visit the best one yet.
Tips for a great Eggstravaganzoo Experience!
- Arrive Early. Plan to arrive at least one hour in advance of the egg hunt for your child's age group to allow plenty of time to park the car and get to Festival Field.
- Pick Up a Schedule of Events at the Entrance. This includes times for all activities throughout the day.
- Don't Forget the Essentials. Camera, Sunscreen and Egg Basket.
- Missed an Egg Hunt for your Age Group? Younger children who miss their hunt may enter an egg hunt for older ages, but older kids may not participate in lower age groups. Please only hunt once.
- It's Not the Number of Eggs That Counts. Every child receives a goodie bag regardless of the number of eggs collected. Redemption tents are adjacent to the egg hunt field.
- Eggstravaganzoo is on Saturday only. There are no egg hunts on Friday or Sunday.
