Mary Sue Candies Sponsors Bunny BonanZOO Egg Hunt At Maryland Zoo

By Jane Ballentine 

Baltimore, MD - Get ready to spring into action with four of the most egg-citing days of the year at The Maryland Zoo in Baltimore!

The annual Bunny BonanZOO Egg Hunt, presented by Mary Sue Candies, will take place on April 3, 4 and 5 – three days of Egg Hunt fun! Children under 12 can search for hidden eggs during the three Egg Hunts held each day at 10:00AM, 11:00AM and Noon. The Egg Hunts will be held in the fields of Waterfowl Lake Pavilion, near the Main Gate entrance. This year, the first 500 children each day to find and turn in 5 different eggs from the Hunt will receive yummy Mary Sue treats in a springy basket.

After the last hunt ends, the focus changes to Keeper Chats and animal enrichment. Visit different exhibits throughout the Zoo and watch training sessions, learn about the lives of the animals, or just chat with one of our expert animal keepers! During three of the Chats you can watch as the keepers offer the animals a special treat developed just for them. Featured enrichment activities will take place at the leopard exhibit, Chimp Forest and Polar Bear Watch – please check the Zoo Map when you arrive for specific times.

Other activities taking place during the day include Education Outposts throughout the Zoo featuring the hands-on discovery of skulls, feathers, eggs and more from 10:00 am – 4:00 pm, and a 12:00 pm Puppet Show each day, starring your favorite animal puppets! On Friday the Puppet Show will be held at the Maryland Wilderness Conservation Outpost and on Saturday and Sunday at the Meeting Barn in the Maryland Wilderness Farmyard

The event is free with general Zoo admission and is free for Zoo members, although some activities, such as rides and games, require an additional fee. The Zoo does not have ATM service, so please come prepared.
