Burt’s Bees presents this festive, annual tradition and nearly 8,000 guests are expected to attend. One highlight of this event is the traditional Easter egg hunts for children ages 2 to 10. Nashville Zoo will be distributing 30,000 plastic eggs for the children to find and redeem for prize packs. All children who participate will receive prizes.

The egg hunt times are:

All egg hunts will take place in the Zoo’s Festival Field located behind the gift shop. Every one is encouraged to arrive at least an hour before egg hunt times to ensure participation. Eggstravaganzoo is included with Zoo admission. Nashville Zoo is also offering a hunt for larger eggs hidden throughout the Zoo. These eggs can be redeemed at the Mix 92.9 tent for prizes.

Eggstravaganzoo will feature special egg hunts for the animals, educational animal shows at the amphitheater and opportunities to meet some of the animal keepers throughout the day. The event will also offer face painting, tours of the Historic Home, and a chance to meet Master Gardeners who care for the Historic Home’s garden.
