Easter Fun at Newquay Zoo

Meet The Easter Hare

The Easter Hare will be hopping to Newquay Zoo where families can meet the hilarious Easter Hare for captivating storytelling sessions, on selected dates throughout April. These sessions will unveil the true tale behind the Easter Bunny, revealing its origins as a mis-identified ‘egg-laying’ hare. Scheduled at 1:30 pm and 3:30 pm on select dates – 14th, 17th, 18th, 19th, 20th, and 21st April – these stories promise to entertain and educate audiences of all ages.

Easter Activities

Beyond the storytelling sessions, Newquay Zoo offers a variety of egg-themed activities designed to engage and educate visitors from the 5 – 26 April 2025:

Easter egg trail

Embark on an egg-citing adventure around the zoo by picking up a free trail sheet at the entrance. Follow the map to discover hidden eggs, solve the secret word, and claim a special prize. Along the way, encounter some of the world's rarest egg-laying animals and learn fascinating facts about the special species at our zoo, including lemurs, lynx, warty pigs, penguins and a vibrant array of birds.

Ranger talks & activities

Native wildlife celebrations

With spring here, visit the native nature activity hub in the Bird Hide, where colouring sheets and puzzles await. This peaceful spot offers a chance to unwind while observing our vasa parrots and discovering more about Cornwall's native species.

Tasty Easter treats

No Easter adventure is complete without some delicious food! Café Lemur will be serving a special homemade Scotch egg, just for Easter, while Tippy’s Takeaway has grab-and-go options perfect for a picnic in the sunshine. And of course, no day out is complete without ice cream – head to Ices for a scoop (or two!) of your favourite flavour.
