APRIL 4TH & 5TH. Visit by Easter Bunny, Easter Egg Hunt and Activities Planned

Egg-cellent family fun awaits you at the annual two-day Easter “Eggstravaganza” at The Living Desert on Saturday and Sunday, April 4th and April 5th from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Over 10,000 eggs will be hidden in Gecko Gulch for one of the biggest Easter egg hunts in the area. There will be four different hunts offered each day, as well as a special egg hunt for adults only. Adult egg hunt winners can walk away with tickets to Brew at the Zoo, special zoo tours and more.

One of the highlights of each egg-citing day is a visit from the Easter Bunny. The Easter Bunny along with his friends will be strolling the zoo and taking pictures with guests.

A variety of entertaining activities are planned including Easter crafts, face painting and a photo booth.  There are plenty of chances to win fabulous prizes like free zoo admission, animal plush toys and more, with the always-entertaining peep-eating contest. Kids will also enjoy the bounce houses and a special animal encounter.

The Living Desert’s “Eggstravaganza” is free for members and included with paid admission to the park for non-members. Parking is always free.
