Animal Egg Hunt

Animal Egg Hunt
Friday, April 22, 2011
On the Friday before Easter, animals throughout the Zoo take part in their own Animal Egg Hunt as they track down eggs hidden in their habitats. In addition, the Animal Egg Hunt features a number of craft areas and story times throughout the day. The Animal Egg Hunt is more than just fun for visitors—it’s also a great form of enrichment. Through enrichment, we stimulate the animals’ senses and encourage natural behaviors. It’s a key component of their over all well-being.

Animal Egg Hunt Schedule:

Join us for a fun craft in Nature’s Neighborhood from 12:00 p.m. – 2:00 p.m. and visit the Aviary for enrichments throughout the day!
