Metro Detroit Arts & Entertainment NewsRoyal Oak, MI - An “egg-stravaganza” of family fun is planned for the Detroit Zoo’s 16th annual Bunnyville celebration on Saturday, April 7, 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Presented by Meijer and supported by Motor City’s 104.3 WOMC, Bunnyville is filled with treats, crafts, games and live entertainment.

New for 2007 is the Jelly Bean Jamboree, a fun twist on the traditional egg hunt.  Funny Bunny Games, crafts, whisker painting and animal enrichment activities will also be featured.  In addition, visitors can have pictures taken with the Easter Bunny for $6 at the Ford Education Center.

Live performances include the musical duo Two of a Kind in the Wildlife Interpretive Gallery Theatre at 11:00 a.m., 1:00 p.m. and 2:00 p.m., and the musical “Bunny Follies” in the Ford Education Center Theater at 12:30 p.m., 1:30 p.m., 2:30 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. 

Bunnyville visitors are encouraged to bring a canned or other non-perishable food item to be donated to Gleaners Community Food Bank.  Guests with food donations will receive a reduced admission price of $4, parking not included.  Admission for Detroit Zoological Society members is free, but members are encouraged to bring food donations.  In 2006, Bunnyville visitors contributed over 8,000 pounds of food to Gleaners. 

The Detroit Zoological Society is a non-profit organization that operates the Detroit Zoo and Belle Isle Nature Zoo.  Situated on 125 acres of naturalistic exhibits, the Detroit Zoo is located at the intersection of Ten Mile Road and Woodward Avenue, just off I-696, in Royal Oak.  The Detroit Zoo is open daily 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. April through October – with extended hours until 8 p.m. Wednesdays during July and August – and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. November through March.  Admission is $11.00 for adults 13 to 61, $9.00 for senior citizens 62 and older, and $7.00 for children ages 2 to 12; children under 2 are free.  For more information, call (248) 541-5717 or visit www.detroitzoo.org.  The Belle Isle Nature Zoo is open daily 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. April through October and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. November through March, and provides educational programming with interpretive staff support from the Huron-Clinton Metroparks.  For more information, call (313) 852-4056.
