KAMLOOPS — For the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic began, the B.C. Wildlife park is bringing back their Easter Egg-citement festival all weekend long, with the park expecting to welcome over 6,000 visitors over the four day stretch.

Starting tomorrow morning (Apr. 15), kids of all ages can take part in tons of fun activities like face painting, a petting zoo, uncle Chris the clown and of course the main event…

“They can expect a ton of activity. We will be doing Easter egg hunts every half-hour for all four days. So, we have an awful lot of chocolate to give away. The kids will be happy, parents maybe not so much,” joked Glenn Grant, Wildlife Park GM.

The return of the Easter fun, is the first event being held at the Wildlife Park since early 2020. Since then the entire park has been made accessible to those with mobility issues so everybody can enjoy the chocolate and animals.

“All the bears are awake, we were a little worried about Clover, he is generally the last bear to get up and get active, but he’s up and about within his enclosure. It’s going to be a beautiful weekend,” added Grant.

The fun begins every morning this weekend at 10:00 am, running to the last egg hunt of the day at 3:30.
