Whipsnade Zoo is hosting a search this Easter for five gigantic eggs hidden within the UK’s largest zoo, each with a fun connection to an animal. From Saturday 5 April to Monday 21 April, children and their grown-ups can join the search for the next egg.
Stamping their unique code cards at each spot, children can collect letters and unscramble the code to reveal a top-secret word with a conservation theme. Successful explorers can exchange their completed code cards for a special Easter prize and enjoy some Easter-themed crafts in the golden egg garden – the final destination of the Easter egg hunt.
Families can also hatch a plan to attend the daily animal talks, where they will discover why penguin parents share egg-warming duties and learn which fish carries its eggs in its mouth. All these facts will help inspire young conservationists to write a golden promise in the golden egg garden, sharing how they will help ZSL create a world where wildlife thrives.
Visitors will be able to explore Whipsnade Zoo’s 600-acre site as part of the day out, taking in the 11,000 animals that call the conservation zoo home, including Asian elephants, pygmy hippos, and a bundle of African lion cubs.
Visitors who buy a ticket to the conservation zoo this Easter could also win a night’s stay in Lookout Lodge. This overnight experience includes three private tours, dinner, bed and breakfast, and two free days of zoo entry.*
