Spring festivities are set to take place at Lincoln Park Zoo on April 19, offering seasonal activities and animal-related learning opportunities. Children aged between 1 and 8 can participate in egg hunts across various terrains designed for their age group. Throughout the morning, visitors to the zoo will enjoy live music, outdoor activities and games, free carousel and train rides, and opportunities to engage with the zoo's experts.
A designated egg hunt at 8 a.m. and 9 a.m. is available for kids who are blind or have low vision. This hunt features beeping eggs on a smooth, flat surface to provide an inclusive experience. Events Manager Meg Hein stated, “We’re honored to know that Lincoln Park Zoo’s Spring Egg-stravaganza is a cherished part of so many families’ Easter traditions.”
In collaboration with Hershey Super Sweet Adventure, six special eggs will be added to the hunt. There will be HERSHEY’S KISSES Milk Chocolates, and selected participants will find a redeemable ticket for a Family Four-Pack to Hershey Super Sweet Adventure.
All guests over the age of 12 months need tickets, which are priced at $25. This includes participation in the activities and specifically designated egg hunt zones for children. Lincoln Park Zoo will remain closed until noon on April 19, being accessible only to ticket holders.
More information and tickets can be found on the zoo's website. Lincoln Park Zoo, founded in 1868, is a leading institution in conservation, animal welfare, and education, remaining open and free every day of the year.
