  They are super egg-cited to offer the Safari Brunch again this year but along with that they have set up four activity zones for everyone to spring through, the Creative Zone at the Discovery Centre across from the Penguin Plunge.
  The second is the play zone at the Safari Lodge in Destination Africa, the third the Sweet Zone at the Enmax Conservatory and the Enviro zone on the West Lawn BBQ Tent right across from Panda Passage.
  The Easter Eggstravaganza is a go again this year as you get the kids fired up on chocolate and sweet treats located all over the Calgary Zoo … and then don’t sleep till Monday.
  There is also a Panda Breakfast. Everyone can attend with many unbelievable selections for any kind of diet that you may be looking for.

  If you are in the Northwest and don’t want to make a trip to the zoo get online right away to buy tickets for Butterfield Acres Legendary Easter Egg Hunt as they explore the legend of the Easter Bunny at the birthday barn.
  The kids all head out with their baskets through tunnels that lead them to the Easter Bunny’s secret workshop to see how those chocolate treats magically appear every year.
  After that it’s off to Prairie Palace to get their own spring planting underway at the acreage with your own plant in a pot that is planted, watered and wrapped in plastic to take home.
  After all that its time to check in with the animals and get some great photos then off to the Pony rides.
  As of Wednesday, the only day still available Saturday, April 20, so get your request in right away at www.butterfieldacres.com
  There are also Easter events to check out at the Calgary Farmers Market , Bass Pro Shop and Marlborough Mall . Just about everyone has a great brunch planned for Sunday so check your favourite restaurant for details.
