Wild Place PROJECT AND Bristol Zoo Gardens host the ‘most eggcellent’ adventure

Wild Place Project and Bristol Zoo Gardens is calling upon eggsplorers to take part in their two Easter family trails. Between 9th and 24th 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 selfies on social media from both sites.

Visitors to Bristol Zoo Gardens will also be able to see 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.

Also 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 in statement:: “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 lot’’s of space for children to burn off those calories after eating all those Easter eggs 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.

Theses trails are going to be popular so book tickets online, in advance.
