Egg-citing Animal Enrichment

Join us as our animals participate in their very own Animal Egg Hunt! Our gorillas, meerkats, and even the elephants are receiving their own egg-themed enrichment throughout the day. Visit them at their habitats in the Houston Zoo and see them hunt, eat, and play with eggs of all sizes!

This event is included with your paid Zoo admission and is free for Zoo Members.

Children’s Activities

In addition to all the enriching activities we’re preparing for our animals, don’t forget to grab your egg-themed scavenger hunt in the Zoo’s front plaza before you start your day. Find all the fun egg facts throughout the Zoo for an egg-stra special surprise!*
