Have An Eggy Day Out At Jurong Bird Park!

Here comes another idea for the upcoming Easter long weekend! If you are planning to spend your Easter weekend outdoors, I have a good recommendation – VISIT THE JURONG BIRD PARK! Now, it makes a lot of sense to visit the Bird Park on Easter, isn’t it? Most birds come from eggs! =D

To commemorate 50 years of tourism development and promotions in Singapore and to thank Singaporeans for their support, Jurong Bird Park hatches the inaugural Eggy Day Out from 18-20 April for Singapore residents to discover little known aspects of the park. This carnival weekend will feature many interesting activities such as a behind-the-scenes tour at Lory Loft, to see the colorful lories and how their feed is being prepare, Junior Eggs-pert Tour that showcases how eggs are incubated and a bird’s life stages at the Breeding & Research Centre, as well as a Memories Trail, led by Jurong Bird Park’s General Manager who will bring participants down memory lane and share how the park has evolved through his 38-year experience as a veteran. I am particularly excited about the program at Lory Loft because my kids had such a great time there the last time we visited the Jurong Bird Park.

To top it off, children between the ages of 3-12 years will enjoy 50% discount on admission tickets during Eggy Day Out by flashing a coupon that can be downloaded from www.birdpark.com.sg/eggydayout between 10-20 April. Holders of Feather Friends, Friends of Night Safari, Friends of River Safari and Friends of the Zoo membership cards are also entitled to five complimentary child admission tickets when they purchase up to five adult tickets during the Easter long weekend (18-20 Apr).

There is a whole host of fun and educational activities happening at the Jurong Bird Park over the Easter long weekend, so you can expect to spend one whole day there with your family. The best thing is all the activities are free-of-charge unless otherwise stated, and registration is needed for some of them at www.birdpark.com.sg/eggydayout or at the Activities Registration Booth at Penguin Coast. I’ve put together the full list of activities you can go for – Makes the admission tickets super worth it! I think I’ll go for the Lory Loft BHS and Egg Treasure Hunt! :D
