Nashville Zoo will be distributing 30,000 plastic eggs for children to find and redeem for prizes. Because these egg hunts are about having fun and going wild and not about the number of eggs collected, ALL egg-hunting children will receive an egg-cellent prize pack.
Egg hunts will take place on the Zoo's Festival Field, located behind the gift shop. Everyone is encouraged to arrive at least an hour before the egg hunt times. The times are:
*Parents can accompany child onto field. PLEASE NOTE: The 2 and under egg hunt is only for ages where children are old enough to retrieve their own eggs.
**Parents DO NOT accompany children onto field. PLEASE NOTE: We ask that all parents stay on the side of the field to ensure everyone's enjoyment and that everyone can keep their children in sight.
Join in a hunt for larger "golden" eggs hidden throughout the Zoo. These select eggs contain a special prize only revealed when the egg is opened! 
Limit one "golden" egg per person.
