Easter being the perfect time to introduce these hatched chicks to the zoo family.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">And if you took the time to peruse the zoo in full, you could take part in the zoo\u2019s egg scavenger hunt. Find all the egg cutouts by the various exhibits, and you\u2019d win a prize at the front desk.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Zoo officials say the event is one of many that have been and will be put on this year to enhance the zoo experience.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cIt is super exciting to be able to offer all of these like little added value things,\u201d said Amanda Gage, the zoo\u2019s Guest Experience Coordinator. \u201cIt really brings guests out so it\u2019s been wonderful to add a couple of those throughout the year this year.\u201c<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">While the event only lasted Sunday, the zoo is open everyday. Up next for the zoo is their spring fling event going from April 25th to the 26th.<\/p>\n<p class=\"copyright |\">Copyright 2026 WWNY.
