TUCSON, Ariz. (KVOA) - This Easter weekend, Reid Park Zoo invites families to a special morning of fun and festivities. The Easter ExtravaganZOO will kick off at 7:30 a.m. with an egg hunt across the zoo. Children can bring their baskets to collect eggs, redeeming them for treat bags. Lucky hunters might even find golden eggs with special prizes!
At 7:45 a.m., guests can enjoy a delicious breakfast in the Event Garden and meet the Easter Bunny. According to the press release, the breakfast menu includes scrambled eggs, pork sausage links, hashbrown casserole, and a fruit display. Adults can also enjoy mimosas and Bloody Marys from a cash bar.
Families are encouraged to stay after breakfast to watch the zoo animals receive their Easter treats. The joy of seeing animals interact with their special goodies not only delights guests but also offers an educational glimpse into animal behaviors, making it a memorable experience.
Furthermore, guests can opt to adopt a zoo animal with their ticket reservation. This initiative promotes wildlife conservation awareness, and it includes a certificate, information page, thank you letter, and a plush toy. This unique experience helps foster a connection with wildlife while supporting the zoo’s conservation efforts.
Tickets must be purchased in advance, as they will not be available at the gate. Check-in begins at 7 a.m., and gates open at 7:30 a.m. Don’t forget to print your tickets or have them ready on your phone for entry. The Easter celebration at Reid Park Zoo is an excellent opportunity for families to create joyful memories while supporting an institution that plays a vital role in education and conservation.
