Cracking Easter in store at zoo

-

FAMILIES are invited to experience a cracking day of discovery at Twycross Zoo this Easter and enjoy a brand-new, spring-themed event every day during the school holidays.

Throughout the Easter holidays, from Saturday 1st – Sunday 16th April, visitors to the zoo will be able to enjoy Twycross Zoo’s all-new event, Hello Spring – a celebratio­n of Easter, which invites families to experience a whole host of new and egg-citing activities.

Little animal lovers will be able to take to the skies and learn how to fly in Twycross Zoo’s first ever acrobatict­hemed workshop. During the workshop, a team of acrobats will teach children lifts and tricks that are inspired by birds at the zoo, before little ones have the chance to experience what it’s like to live with all feet off the ground on the childfrien­dly aerial hoop.

For those that love completing an egg hunt during Easter, look no further as the keepers are inviting eagle-eyed visitors to complete The Great Twycross Egg Hunt during their visit. Detectives can pick up a guide on arrival before setting off on an adventure to spot several mislaid important eggs and learn all about the animals and birds at the zoo who lay eggs.

Guests are also encouraged to keep their eyes peeled during their visit to spot new residents, Burt and Joyce – two eye-catching and interactiv­e animal characters who will be soaring high in the sky during the Easter holidays. What’s more, on weekends during the school holidays, families can join in on Twycross Zoo’s Birds of Play dance-a-long and learn new dance moves, including the Great Grey Owl hop and Flamboyant Flamingo.

As well as enjoying the Hello Spring – a celebratio­n of Easter event, families can discover hundreds of animals from around 80 different species in Twycross Zoo’s amazing animal kingdom. Visitors can come face-toface with some of the world’s most endangered species – including rhinos and bonobos – and learn more about the zoo’s ongoing conservati­on efforts to protect and preserve them.
