Ross Park Zoo's Eggstavaganza kicks off Easter weekend
BINGHAMTON, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – It's Easter weekend, and the Ross Park Zoo is decked out, for a park-wide Easter egg hunt. Today started Ross Park Zoo's Eggstravaganza, continuing tomorrow rain or shine from 10 to 4.
Throughout the park, there's fun games and activities for the kids to play, and win prizes. The Easter Bunny was on site today and will be there again tomorrow to take pictures with families.
The community engagement manager at the Zoo, Kathy Whyte, says don't forget that the zoo is still open on Easter Sunday.
'We've got a new take on the way we do our scavenger hunt for eggs. It's a self-paced thing, where you don't have people tripping over eachother, big kids trying to get eggs from little kids. You just look for the giant plastic eggs that are placed all throughout the zoo, make a notation on your card, and go through our gift shop to get a prize. There's a special egg that's been hidden through the zoo,' Whyte said.
Whyte says this weekend only, the zoo is offering a special 10 percent discount if you buy a membership. And if you're already a member, this weekend's Eggstravaganza is free admission.
