The Easter Bunny will make a very, very special appearance to the Reptile Park over the four-day weekend. He has told park staff that he plans a family scavenger hunt and he might leave some of his pink and white footprints as clues. So come along and join in the fun.

Amazing animal encounters await all visitors to the park during ‘snappy hour’ (daily 11am-2pm) where the parks friendly staff encourage a unique interactive experience with many of their scaly and cuddly critters.
