By The Milwaukee County Zoo
You’re invited to take part in a host of hoppin’ Easter activities at the Milwaukee County Zoo, Saturday, March 30, as Egg Day, sponsored by Welch’s and Pick ‘n Save, officially gets underway at 9 a.m.! Highlights include:
* U.S. Bank Gathering Place – 10 a.m. / Noon / 2 p.m.
Join us for the Bubble Wonders Show, as an expert “Bubblologist” creates amazing works of art with . . . BUBBLES! Bubble tricks include: “the bubble caterpillar,” “bubble volcano,” “electric dancing bubble,” and the popular “bubble merry-go-round!”
* Northwestern Mutual Family Farm Playground – The Hop-To-It Bunny Scavenger Hunt – 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Kids 8 and under can hop to it and search for special Easter-themed tokens, and redeem them for sweet treats!
* Stearns Family Apes of Africa.
In the jungles of Africa, have fun with face-painting and receive a bunny nose and whiskers, just like the most famous Bunny of all!
* Aquatic and Reptile Center.
Color a paper Easter egg to celebrate the holiday.
* Primates of the World.
Have fun with activities like designing a set of bunny ears taking place among our primates.
* Easter Parade – 2 p.m.
Hip, Hop, Hurrah! Meet at the Northwestern Mutual Family Farm, along with the master of ceremonies, the Easter Bunny and his group of costumed characters, and march through the park! You’ll conclude at the Peck Welcome Center for a chance to win special prize giveaways.
* Throughout the Zoo.
Be on the lookout for our animals to take part in Easter festivities, as they receive special Easter-related enrichment items in their habitats. Enrichment activities keep the animals active and healthy, allowing them to demonstrate behaviors similar to those they would in the wild.
* All Aboard for a “Train Teaser!” Hop on our Safari Train to test your skills counting Easter eggs hidden on the wooded and winding route.
