This spring, Plantasia Tropical Zoo is hosting a joyful seasonal celebration as Hoppy Easter arrives in the jungle for one special day.

On Saturday 4th April, families can enjoy music, magical characters, creative activities and an exciting zoo adventure — all included with your ticket.

If you’re searching for a family day out in Swansea, this Easter event combines wildlife, entertainment and interactive fun under one tropical roof.


Meet the Easter Bunny and a Magical Woodland Fairy

Our friends from Glass Slipper Events will be bringing two enchanting visitors to Plantasia: the Easter Bunny and a sparkling woodland fairy.

Throughout the day, the fairy will perform live songs from the treehouse balcony at half past every hour, filling the jungle with cheerful music and a touch of spring magic.

After each performance, families can head over to the treehouse doors where both characters will be waiting to meet visitors and pose for photos.

For many children, meeting the Easter Bunny is one of the highlights of the season — and it’s a lovely memory for the whole family.

Little explorers can also enter our themed Easter competition for the chance to win:

  • A delicious Easter egg

  • A cuddly toy

  • A family ticket to visit the zoo again

Simply complete the activity sheet during your visit and submit your entry before you leave.


Creative Easter Activities for Children

Families visiting during the event can also enjoy Easter-themed colouring activities, perfect for creative little ones who want a calm moment between adventures.

These simple craft activities are always popular with younger visitors and give children the chance to create something special to take home from their visit.

Children can also enjoy complimentary face painting from the friendly and talented team at Shani’s Glitter and Paints, adding an extra splash of colour and sparkle to the day.

Of course, your ticket isn’t just for the Easter event — it includes full access to Plantasia Tropical Zoo.
