Belfast Zoological Gardens is getting ready for another “eggciting” Easter, with many fun filled activities for all to enjoy!

Whether you’re shaking hands with one of the animal characters, watching the sea lions at feeding time or taking part in Belfast Zoo’s Easter egg hunt, you are sure to have an amazing day out.

This Easter is set to be very exciting for all involved explains Zoo manager, Mark Challis, “Easter is a fabulous time at Belfast Zoo. This Easter is very special indeed as we have already welcomed a number of new arrivals in 2012, including Marjorie the Malayan tapir calf, Georgie the Vicuna calf, Bo and Bert the Eastern bongos and visitors can also visit our 40 ‘holidaying’ gentoo penguins from Edinburgh Zoo.”

This event will run from 6 April to 10 April.  During the Easter period, the zoo is very busy the car park is usually full by 12pm. To check alternative car parking facilities and shuttle bus times, call the zoo on 028 9077 6277 or email info@belfastzoo.co.uk.
