Which Came First, the Chicken or the Eggz? On Saturday, April 19th the Hattiesburg Zoo will host its annual EGGZ-OTIC - Not Your Average - Egg Hunt! 🐣As usual, the Hattiesburg Zoo is putting their own eggz-citing spin on an annual tradition. No need to bring an egg basket, but you will need to bring your eggz-tra special hunting skills to find one of the 250 well-hidden eggz. Limit 2 eggz per family- and you will win an EGGztra special prize if you find the GOLDEN egg! 🌟
Annual Passholders will again receive a special perk at this year’s hunt as they will be given entrance to the Zoo 15 minutes before the gates open for the official egg hunt time of 10:00 a.m. The Eggz-otic Egg Hunt ends when the last egg is found – eggz-cept the Zoo closes at 4:00 p.m.
New this year will be a bird-themed scavenger hunt with prizes. Guests will scan a QR code that will give them clues to find specific zoo birds, which will both test their knowledge and educate them in a fun and competitive way. And things are expected to go afoul during the day when a VERY large, very special guest makes his debut, bringing smiles, laughter and joy to everyone. There will even be a peep-up shop that will offer all things chicken for guests to purchase. 🐔
The Easter Bunny will be hopping through the Zoo to welcome guests and will be available for photos. The movie Peter Rabbit will be playing in the Asbury Discovery Center along with a coloring station if children or parents need a break from the Eggz-otic Egg Hunt. Face Painting will also be offered at the Lakeview Pavilion for an additional fee. 🐰
Online ticket purchases for this event are encouraged and offer purchasers a $2.00 discount on each ticket. Online ticket sales for the Eggz-otic Egg Hunt end at 9:00 a.m. on April 19th. Tickets purchased at the gate are the regular admission price of $12 for adults and $10 for children aged 12 and under. Children under the age of 2 receive free admission. 🌷
