Woodland Park Zoo will be hopping with activities during Bunny Bounce on Saturday, April 3. Egg hunts begin at 9:30 a.m. for children ages one to eight. In support of the zoo’s conservation efforts, kids are encouraged to bring their own basket or bag for collecting eggs. However, there will also be a limited number of bags for egg hunters without one.
For the health and well being of zoo animals, candy will not be placed inside the eggs – egg hunt participants will receive their treats as they exit the zoo.
