Hop into Spring has ended for the season. Please join us next year!
It’s time to Hop into Spring at the Oregon Zoo!
This family-friendly event is filled with fun activities tailored especially for kids 8 and under. Spend the day enjoying lawn games, animal encounters, magic and puppet shows, coloring and crafts, a bubble party and more.
Plenty of festive costumed characters will be on hand to meet and greet guests, offer photo ops and help welcome the return of the spring season.
Along with regular zoo fare, visiting vendors Getta Gyro, Bandit Kettle Corn and Six Stix Gourmet Pretzels and Caramel Apples will be on hand. Mimosas will also be available for purchase for those 21 and over.
Members: Admission is free and reservations are not required. You must purchase the egg hunt add-on to participate in that activity.
