The Zoonormous Egg Hunt at Whipsnade Zoo is now over for 2026 - thank you to everyone who joined us over Easter.
Find out what events are coming up
Discover all kinds of amazing animals this Easter holiday at Whipsnade Zoo with the Zoonormous Egg Hunt! A great activity for the whole family, included with Zoo entry.
Seek out special eggs around Whipsnade Zoo, while learning about egg-ceptional species along the way. Unravelling clues or solving riddles at each location will crack the secret code. Successful egg-splorers can reveal this code at our Easter garden and be rewarded with a delicious chocolate treat*!
After you’ve collected your prize, you can egg-splore the rest of our glorious Easter garden. Potter amongst beautiful spring flowers and get your winners photo. Plus, decorate your very own Easter Bunny crown!
Then hop next door to visit our brand-new Birthday Exhibition and help us celebrate 200 years of wildlife and wonder. Discover pioneering people, planet-protecting projects, and peer into our past while looking to the future of what we can achieve for wildlife together.
Along with over 11,000 amazing animals at the UK’s biggest Zoo, you’ll be all set for a cracking day out!
A visual story is available for this event, here.
