Rabbit Romp
Saturday, March 30, 2002
9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The Oregon Zoo invites children of all ages to celebrate spring during Rabbit Romp.

The traditional candy "egg" hunt, divided into five age groups for children three to ten years of age, will again be held every 20 minutes beginning at 9:30 a.m. Each hunt includes a "magic" egg that can be turned in for a special prize. Other activities include a petting zoo, games, puppet shows and a Mad Hatter's Tea
Party by the Young People's Theater Project. The Oregon Humane Society will be on hand with information about rabbit adoptions and to provide proper pet care instruction.

An interactive learning station features enlarged versions of pygmy rabbit burrows, which can be explored. Rabbit Rompers can learn about this endangered species that lives behind-the-scenes at the zoo by watching a video of the pygmy rabbits in action and speaking to Zoo Animal Presenters.

Rabbit Romp is free with regular zoo admission. Support for Rabbit Romp is provided by Rosey 105 and Safeway.
