On March 27, 2021, celebrate Egg Extravaganza!! with us by taking a winding walk along the Glass Lizard Trail from 10 am to 2 pm. The quarter-mile long trail will be transformed into an educational experience, prompting guests to match pictures of eggs to a list of animals. Enter the trail to the right of the Education Center. Bounce, walk or skip down the path, taking time to stop and answer the riddle on each interpretive sign along the way. The trail is ideal for younger ages, but adults may learn a thing or two as well! Children ages 5-8 may enjoy the Egg-citing Activity Boxes described below.
Egg-citing Activity Boxes will be jam-packed with supplies to craft your own animal eggs and nests! The family can work together to build a bird nest, assemble a bundle of snail eggs, and help a cluster of frog eggs find their way home. The Activity Boxes are not included with event entry; boxes are available for pre-purchase at $5 each at friends-of-savannas.square.site.
