Welcome to London's 'Zoo-normous Egg Hunt!'

This year, the Easter Bunny has brought a surprise and hidden some eggs at London Zoo — much to the delight of its inhabitants.

  • A Bolivian squirrel monkey at the zoo looking at an eggshell

    Eggcellent egg trail

    London Zoo is welcoming its visitors with a creative idea for the Easter holidays: the Zoo-normous Egg Hunt not only gives visitors the chance to hunt for eggs, but the animals can join in on the fun, too.

  • The Bolivian squirrel monkeys at the zoo examining an eggshell

    Seek and ye shall find

    The Bolivian squirrel monkeys were pampered in a special way: Colorful eggs were hung in the treetops, filled with sweet potatoes, corn and peas. The little primates visibly enjoyed the surprise. Yummy!

  • Meerkats playing with an egg at the zoo

    On a roll

    The meerkats also hunted for treats on their special egg trails. Following the scent of cinnamon, they found eggs hidden in treetops, under sand or stones — and there was plenty for the animals to discover.

  • Easter eggs lined up at London Zoo

    Seasonal surprises

    London Zoo organizes seasonal special events to make the 36-hectare (89-acre) zoo grounds attractive for children and families. This year, the clues are hidden everywhere leading to the grand prize — the golden egg. If you can solve the riddles, of course.

  • The Sumatran tiger cub with an Easter egg

    Hold my egg

    Cat owners know that kitties can often occupy themselves for hours with the most absurd things. This Sumatran tiger is no exception, and he seemed to really enjoy his treasure.

  • The Bolivian squirrel monkeys at the zoo climbing in a tree examining eggshells

    Full of energy

    For those who now feel like a spontaneous trip to London, the egg hunt is still available until April 16. Or simply cheer on the monkeys in their search. Happy Easter!
