Candy Treat Bags

All children 12 years old and under who participate in the Easter Egg Scavenger Hunt can receive a special treat bag when exiting the zoo. Please ask a gift shop staff member for your treat bag as you exit, either from inside the gift shop or at the front windows.

Gem Mine

Jungle George's Good-Timing Gem Mining is open. Step and explore the wonders you can find, from gemstones to fossils and more. Select your discovery bag, pour it into your sifting pan, and watch your treasures appear. You can even take home what you find. Several options are available and prices vary. The Gem Mine is located across from the Parakeet Aviary.

Storybook Carousel

This Venetian carousel is themed after 18th-century fashion and was manufactured and hand-painted in Italy. It includes 20 horses, with some jumping and some stationary, a gondola, a spinning "tea cup," and can ride 24 passengers at once. The carousel is designed for children and includes a plaza and garden area, filled with storybook statues peeking through the rich flora.

Admission & Pricing

There is no special pricing for EggstravaganZoo. Regular admission prices apply all month long and Zoosiana Members get in free. Normal fees apply to all regular zoo attractions.
