Get ready for an unforgettable afternoon of family fun! On Saturday, April 12, Animals Everywhere will bring some of our favorite animal friends to Central Park from 10 AM – 1 PM! This exciting event will feature three petting zoos dedicated to farmyard friends, bunnies, and reptiles! Plus, this year includes a special lorikeet exhibit where you can get up close and personal with feathered friends. Little ones can enjoy a classic pony ride and the whole family can explore fascinating exhibits like the Sloth Exhibit and lorikeet exhibit. Be sure to check out Captain Bobby’s Tide Pool for a hands-on marine experience.
Take a seat at the amphitheater and enjoy educational and entertaining animal shows. Learn fascinating facts about exotic creatures and some of nature’s creepiest critters!
Little ones can enjoy a classic pony ride, and kids of all ages will have a blast on the inflatable Amazon Wipeout Obstacle Course or Busy Bee Playland – designed specifically for toddlers!
Make the day even memorable with a fun makeover at the Crazy Hair Booth or transform into your favorite animal thanks to talented face painters. Take home a special souvenir from balloon twister artists and enjoy the magic of floating bubbles with a professional bubbleologist.
Since it’s April, we’re keeping the spring spirit alive! ADJ will keep the energy high with games and prizes throughout the event. Plus, get creative at our Art Activation Station, where kids can create a special animal-themed craft. Stop by the Storybook Courtyard to take a memorable family snapshot with Peter Rabbit.
Then, hop over to the exciting Egg Scramble, where kids will compete to gather the most eggs and enjoy the sweet treats inside! Scrambles will be grouped by age.
