Egg Hunt Notes:
  • Every child receives a goodie bag regardless of the number of eggs collected. Redemption tents are adjacent to the egg hunt field.
  • Please only hunt once.
  • Miss the egg hunt for your age group? Younger children who miss their hunt may enter an older aged hunt, but older kids may not participate in lower age groups' hunts.
  • You may notice that the ages 5-12 egg hunting field has been updated to include colorful wooden eggs. This is part of our ongoing mission to positively impact conservation by reducing the use of plastics and microplastic trash in the environment. These eggs will eventually be used throughout Eggstravaganzoo to cut out our microplastic trash following each egg hunt. Learn more about how microplastics are impacting your local Tennessee River by visiting our website here: Single-Use Plastic!
