It's All About the Egg!
Eggstravaganza 2022
To follow through with our message of conservation, this year we will be focusing less on “hunting” for plastic eggs in designated areas and – instead – offering games and activities that visitors can participate in to get candy!
Eggstravaganza 2022 will feature games such as a “Carrot” Toss, a Spoon Egg Game Obstacle Course, a Guess the Animal Egg Education Station, an Egg-Themed Bingo Scavenger Hunt, a Guess How Many Eggs Game, a Duck “Fishing” Game, the Easter Bunny, and a bunch of other fun activities!
But that’s not all!
Eggstravaganza will feature food from food trucks such as Cowboy BBQ, Oldies and Goodies, Frozen Rollies, Cue Dogs, and more.
Eggstravaganza will also have vendors such as So Sweet Candy Shoppe and entertainment such as the Jim Okey Magic Comedy Show and music from the Brian Mulkerne Band.
And finally, there will be keeper talks and “Egg” themed enrichments that will be given to our animals throughout the day!
Eggstravaganza will run from 10am to 3pm. The zoo will remain open until 4:30pm.
We look forward to seeing you all there!

Of course! The zoo will be open as normal throughout the event. The only difference is that Eggstravaganza will also feature special food trucks, vendors, games, music, and more!
If you just want to come to the zoo for a visit on April 16, you can pay normal admission and enjoy the zoo like any other day. The only thing you won’t be able to do if you don’t pay the additional $4 are our various games and activities that can earn you candy and other prizes.
Eggstravaganza will be a rain or shine event! So regardless of what the weather ends up being on April 16, Eggstravaganza will happen!
