Bristol Zoo Gardens and Wild Place Project is calling upon eggsplorers to take part in their two eggciting Easter family trails.
Between 9 and 24 April, giant eggs will be hidden around both visitor attractions for families to discover. There will be stickers for all taking part and the chance to win a top prize including an annual pass to Wild Place Project, a goodie bag, and an opportunity to hand feed penguins at Bristol Zoo Gardens.
Visitors will be asked to share their eggcellent selfies on social media from both sites.
Eggsplorers at Bristol Zoo Gardens will also be able to spot 300 incredible animal species from gorillas and lemurs, to red pandas and penguins, within its 12 acres of award-winning gardens. There will also be free daily talks and feeds to enjoy.
And at Wild Place Project the trail will include part of the site’s 50 acres of woodlands, wildflowers, gardens and meadows. Visitors will be able to see animals from around the world including bears, giraffes, zebras and cheetahs.
Scott Raven, Public Programmes Coordinator at Bristol Zoological Society, said, “We’re really ‘eggcited’ to be putting on these trails and to see people taking part. It’s the last Easter for Bristol Zoo Gardens so we’ve put on these two cracking Easter family trails to provide lasting memories for those who visit the zoo, and help families discover Wild Place Project.”
There’s plenty of space for children to stretch their legs at both attractions, with play areas, high ropes course, and an outdoor Splash area at Bristol Zoo. There are 10 play areas at Wild Place Project, including the Fun Fort, ‘Congo Bongo’, Barefoot Trail, and the giant Bird’s Nest.
Both trails are expected to be popular and people are advised to book their tickets online, in advance.

Bristol Zoo Gardens will officially close its gates to the public for the last time on Saturday September 3, 2022. Its sister site Wild Place Project, located just off J17 of the M5 Motorway, will remain open until it becomes the new Bristol Zoo in 2024.
