Easter Ostrich Egg Painting

This Easter, unleash your creativity and paint an egg-straordinary ostrich egg – plus, all proceeds support animal enrichment here at GVZoo!

The eggs are from our two female ostriches Omari and Oat. We don't have any male ostriches, so all the eggs were unfertilized. Each egg has already been hollowed out and sanitized. Ostrich eggs are 20 times larger than chicken eggs and notably stronger. The hollowed ostrich eggs can even survive small drops.

This is an all-ages event but parents must be present with their children. Acrylic paint and painting tools will be provided. You can pick up your egg at the end of the day, after it dries, or a later date. Painted eggs will be packaged, with a stand, in a padded box for safe transport. Guests are welcome to donate their egg for decoration, here a the zoo.

Pricing: $75 per egg*
Location: Discovery Centre
Dates: April 18 – April 21

Spots are limited, with only 100 eggs available - don’t miss out!

*Max 4 participants per egg. No refunds. General admission not included.
