- All ten Characters have decorated eggs in their likeness and hid them just for you to spot throughout the Zoo.
- Be sure to grab an activity map at the tent just inside the turnstiles to take part in this adventure.
- Once all the eggs are located, stop by the prize tent by Jr. Zookeeper to receive your "hen"-tastic prize while supplies last.
