Gorilla Egg Hunts!

Event Date(s): March 30

The animals are in for spring-themed surprises!

Species throughout Zoo Atlanta will find colorful enrichment in their habitats on Saturday, March 30.

This favorite annual tradition is one of many highlights of Zoo Atlanta’s robust animal enrichment program in place for all species. A vital component of superior animal care at accredited zoological organizations, enrichment may take the form of objects, foods, scents, feeder puzzles and more, designed to stimulate animals’ natural behaviors and adaptations while promoting their well-being.
