Eggstravaganzoo 

When: Sat., April 3, 9 a.m.-4 p.m. 2010

Bunny Business

What is it about the Nashville Zoo at Grassmere that lends itself so readily to puns? According to the zoo’s website, things will get “hopping” for today’s “Eggstravaganzoo,” which will feature 10 separate Easter egg hunts for children in five different age brackets. Terribly cute. Zoo officials will distribute over 30,000 plastic eggs throughout their Festival Field — according to the 2000 census, that’s roughly one egg for every two 1- to 10-year-old living in Nashville — several of which are larger, golden eggs that can be “redeemed for special prizes.” There will also be special items hidden in the animal cages for the animals themselves to find, but these items ARE NOT TO BE SEARCHED FOR BY CHILDREN! No need to let your little ones toddle into the Bengal tigers’ cage. In addition to Nashville’s biggest egg hunt, Eggstravaganzoo will also feature free games, the “Bunny Breakfast” and photos with the most elusive member of the species known as Sylvilagus floridanus. (Hint: His real name rhymes with “keister funny.”)
