Kawaii! Gudetama alert: Fans of the Sanrio lazy egg character will definitely want to take note of Jurong Bird Park’s Easter Eggs-travaganza – including a Gudemtama Egg Hunt – hatching in April 2019.
We set off to Jurong Bird Park for an egg-venture on a recent preview (that took place a slightly wet morning) and eggs-perienced some cracking-ly fun activities.
Jurong Bird Park Easter Egg Hunt 2019 – Hunt for Eggs, Hatch a Prize
The Waterfall Aviary is the site of this year’s Easter egg hunt at Jurong Bird Park. After some brief instructions, the children zoomed off with their hunting instincts on high alert!
Equipped with baskets, they were tasked to collect eggs of five different colours from huge nests stationed at various locations within the waterfall aviary grounds.

Each station had different coloured eggs and once the five eggs were collected, it was back to the finishing point to open the eggs and match the answer slips in them to a question sheet about birds in exchange for a limited edition Gudetama collectible pin!
The questions were a nice way to add an educational spin to the Easter Egg hunt at Jurong Bird Park.
Bonus: If you happen to find a special golden egg hidden in the aviary, you could walk away with additional exclusive Gudetama items!

Enjoy the Rest of Jurong Bird Park!
After all the eggy fun, we took a breezy tram ride round the park and had a series of lovely encounters with pelicans, penguins, parrots, peacocks, peafowls, pigeons of rainbow hues and many more!
Some of our favourite activities included peeking into a hornbill’s nest box and visiting the park’s Breeding and Research Centre to learn about hatching eggs and raising chicks.
We also fell in love with the iridescent Nicobar Pigeon!
Altogether, the children had a marvellous morning at the Jurong Bird Park!
