• Grab your own set of Bunny Ears to look like our furry friend. Then pick up a Scavenger Hunt card and spy special items throughout the Zoo. Return your card for a special prize! Plus, count the golden eggs along the Egg Hunt Trail and receive a unique treat.
• Plan to hippity-hop over to demonstrations and check out animals like big catsand otters enjoying Enrichment Items that encourage natural behaviors.
  • 10 a.m. – Pigs
  • 11 a.m. – Big Cats
  • 11:30 a.m. – Seals

• Get into the spirit with Dixie-land jazz from popular group Razzmatazz from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Keep your bunny ears and eyes peeled for the Aquatic & Reptile Center’s newest residents: ten Amazon milk frogs. They’re petite and blue; check out their habitat and see if you can find them all! Their small size makes them great at blending in with their surroundings. All of the frogs are siblings, and the last time the Zoo had this species in its population was 2019. We’re thrilled to welcome them back.
