Discovery Zone Spring Egg Hunt

EGG HUNT RESCHEDULED DUE TO WEATHER: NOW APRIL 7

Join us on Saturday, APRIL 7 for an egg hunt like no other!  Children will search the woods along the Discovery Zone trails for eggs, but not Spring’s typical neon plastic eggs.  These eggs have been decorated to mimic eggs of native CT birds such as hawks, pheasants and bluebirds.  Children will have to have a sharp eye to find specked eggs in the leaves and underbrush of the forest!

When the eggs have been found, CT Audubon of Fairfield has an interactive presentation prepared to give us a better understanding of the birds that would have laid eggs with the colors and patterns we’ve just discovered.  The teachers from CT Audubon will even bring a feathered friend or two to the Discovery Zone’s outdoor classroom and give us a chance to meet real live birds!
