Our annual Eggstravaganza is Saturday, March 30, 2024 from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at The Zoo in Forest Park (293 Sumner Ave., Springfield). Children are invited to hop along the bunny trail collecting goodies ranging from a take-and-make activity to prize-filled eggs to *candy (of course!). Join us under the tent to participate in various crafts or get up and dance to kid-friendly music from DJ Jonny Taylor. Plus enjoy a visit from the Easter Bunny and a few real bunnies – because no Zoo event is complete without animal encounters!
*Allergy friendly bags are available for children with food allergies in lieu of candy.
A pre-purchased, timed ticket is required to attend. No tickets will be sold at the gate on the day of the event. Participation in the Bunny Trail is for children 0-12 with a child ticket. Guests under the age of one are free to enter unless they wish to collect goodies, in which case they must have a ticket. Tickets are sold in 30-minute increments. We ask guests to arrive within a 15-minute window their ticket time. All guests with a ticket will be allowed to enter until 2:00 p.m. but may need to wait for scheduled guests to enter first. Gates close at 2 p.m. The Zoo closes at 2:30.
