About Easter Eggsplorer Trails

Listed Under Family and Kids Events / Days Out Events / Easter Holiday Events

The birds are flocking to attend their annual spring party, but one of them is running late!

Could it be the horse-o'-the woods, the capercaillie? Jenny Hoolit, the tawny owl? Or maybe it’s the red-nebbit fisherman, the puffin?

Follow the clues to figure out who’s missing, and you might just receive an egg-citing chocolatey reward!

This self-guided trail, taking place at sites across the country, is the perfect family activity for this Easter weekend.

Entrance is included in admission price. Drop-in throughout the day to join in the fun.
