Although it may feel like winter really never even got started here in Northeast Ohio, spring is just around the corner and that means plenty of seasonal fun and activities at Cleveland Metroparks Zoo.
Seasonal Exhibits
The first of the Zoo's seasonal exhibits and activities begin re-opening for the year on April 1 (weather permitting), including the lorikeet aviary, Boomerang Railway and the Yagga Tree in Australian Adventure.
Guests can see kangaroos, wallabies and wallaroos along the Wallaby Walkabout, visit the farm animals in Kookaburra Station and catch a glimpse of life on an Australian ranch in the Reinberger Homestead. And no visit through Australian Adventure would be complete without a stop in GumLeaf Hideout to see the koalas and the tree kangaroo.
Breakfast with the Easter Bunny
This bunny trail leads straight to the Zoo for Breakfast with the Easter Bunny in the Primate, Cat and Aquatics Building. Hop on down with the family on Saturday, March 31, Sunday, April 1, or Saturday, April 7.
