Every Saturday and Sunday there will be 10 large golden eggs hidden throughout the Zoo. All eggs will have a Virginia Zoo prize pack but 2 eggs each day will have larger prizes. NEW! This year we’ll have prizes from partner organizations included in the large eggs. We will also be hiding 30 small golden eggs each day with a Virginia Zoo trading card prize!

Small eggs will be hidden in the Zoo throughout the day, expanding the time that people can find them. All the large eggs will be hidden before the Zoo opens for the day.

Rules and Guidelines

  • Ten (10) golden eggs will be hidden across the publicly accessible areas throughout the Zoo.
    • Two (2) of these eggs will have BIG prizes. The big prizes of the day are as follows:
