COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Columbus Zoo and Aquarium is kicking off the spring season with its annual Eggs, Paws and Claws event.

This year’s event will take place on April 7 and 8 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and will feature egg-citing activities for families. 

Children will be able to take photos alongside the Easter Bunny and see Eggbert and Shelley’s Rolling Shell-ebration, the Egg-Splore-N-Find and more.

The Egg-Splore-N-Find activity will be presented by zoo ambassadors. Guests who participate will look for eight eggs hidden around the zoo and will collect a corresponding sticker for each egg. 

Once all of the hidden eggs are found, guests can then stop by the event information tent in the Entry Village to receive a prize.
