Birdworld is inviting families to enjoy an egg-stra special Easter with a fun-filled discovery trail.

The UK’s largest bird park, which recently unveiled its multi-million-pound indoor and outdoor play areas, will launch its Easter Egg-stravaganza on 28 March – a school-holiday egg hunt packed with family fun and a few surprises along the way.

Designed for children of all ages, participants will receive a trail sheet before embarking on their adventure. As they search high and low for six hidden Easter eggs dotted around the park, they will also need to collect stamps and letters at each stop to help spell a secret word. Once the trail is completed, the trail sheets will need to be taken to reception in exchange for a Cadbury’s Crème Egg.

But the fun does not stop there. Alongside the trail, children can also get stuck into a nature-inspired wordsearch, test their knowledge with an ‘odd one out’ egg-laying animal challenge, play a ‘match the nests’ game and snap memorable photos at the Easter-themed selfie stations.

The Easter egg hunt fits perfectly with Birdworld’s strapline, Naturally Playful, which celebrates learning through play – something that can already be seen throughout the park’s redevelopment.

Woodies Wheeler-Bennett, Marketing Manager at Birdworld, said: “It was fantastic to see so many families visiting Birdworld during half term, especially despite the wet weather, and the response to our new indoor and outdoor play areas has been incredibly encouraging.”

While the Easter activities add an extra layer of fun, the real stars of the show are Birdworld’s birds themselves – from colourful parrots to flamboyant flamingos and many more in between.

Alice Baker, Living Collections Registrar said: “Spring is one of the loveliest times to visit Birdworld and the Park is full of activity. Alongside the Easter trail, visitors may also be able to spot some fascinating natural behaviours up close.

“In Wetland Waders, guests can look out for nesting African Spoonbills and Waldrapp ibis, while at Penguin Beach they may spot African penguins adding pebbles, grasses or leaves to their nest boxes.

“Elsewhere in Love + Colour, visitors can see how many Black-cheeked Lovebird nest boxes have birds in, while at the pheasant aviaries they may even catch the male Great Argus pheasant performing an impressive courtship dance to attract a mate.”

Woodies added: “With so much fun to be had, we are expecting another busy holiday period and cannot wait to welcome visitors back. The Easter trail is set to be a real hit, so we would encourage families to book online in advance to make the most of their visit.”
