Eggstravaganza 2025
It's All About the Egg!
The annual Utica Zoo Eggstravaganza returns to the scenic grounds of the Utica Zoo on Saturday, April 19th, from 10am-3pm.
Eggstravaganza is unlike other Easter themed events; the focus is all about the Egg and the animals who lay them. Visitors will be able to explore the zoo and celebrate the numerous different species of animal who lay eggs and learn how truly different and unique each egg can be. There will be animal meet & greets, egg themed enrichment for the animals, games, vendors, and free photos with the Easter Bunny!
Join us for live music by Amos Donnell, magic shows throughout the day with Jim Okey Magic Comedy and dancing with the Enchanted Broom Crew!
Admission to the event is included with Zoo admission. Members receive free admission; not-yet members will pay $11 for adults, $8 for children aged 2-12, Seniors 62+, military, veterans, and college students with ID will pay $10. Children 1 and under are Free. However, there is an additional $5 charge per person for anyone who wants to participate in our featured games and activities to earn candy and other prizes!
Eggstravaganza will run from 10am to 3pm on April 19. The zoo will remain open until 4:30pm.
We look forward to seeing you all there!
