April 16 event features seek-and-find game, juggling and performances by Red Yarn

PORTLAND, Ore. — On Saturday, April 16, guests are invited to explore what’s new at the zoo and celebrate the season with “Hop into Spring.” This all-ages event is free with admission or membership. Timed-entry tickets must be reserved in advance online.

Participants will receive a seek-and-find game that guides them through the zoo to learn about wildlife. Treat bags will be rewarded to all child participants who complete the seek-and-find activity at no extra cost.

Other activities include music from Red Yarn (10 a.m., 11 a.m. and noon), performances by JuggleMania (1, 2 and 3 p.m.) and stations where guests can meet some of the zoo’s ambassador animals and get tips from master gardeners and recyclers.

The fun kicks off at 10 a.m. and lasts until 3 p.m. The festivities are sponsored by Kinder Joy, which is also sponsoring an egg-themed online quiz and a chance to win free tickets to the zoo.

As part of the Metro family, the Oregon Zoo helps make greater Portland a great place to call home.
