Hop to It! – Easter Monday at the Edmonton Valley Zoo

Monday, April 5
11am – 4pm

Spring is here and it is full of excitement and new life! You’ll have the opportunity to visit the different Easter babies, including chicks and bunnies in the indoor petting zoo. Watch some of the animals receive their very own Easter egg treats – will the animals eat the eggs, play with them, or smash them?

Drop by the craft station to create an Easter basket, butterfly wings, or butterfly antennae and then enjoy a variety of games and activities for young and old. A special butterfly parade will take the little ones on a magical “flight” around the zoo and everyone will enjoy learning amazing secrets about eggs with the hands-on science experiments.

For something completely different, check out the must-see spectacle: Flea-ster Circus. There will also be live music, face painting, Easter treats, animal encounters, and much more. It’s the perfect way to celebrate spring on Easter Monday!

Regular winter admission rates apply.
