Who needs an Easter Bunny when you can meet and mingle with alligators? The annual Aquarium Alligator Egg Hunt is a fun new spin on the traditional Easter egg hunt, and is a great opportunity for kids to learn more about this fascinating critter while having a ball at one of Kure Beach’s favorite landmarks, the North Carolina Aquarium. Held on multiple days around Eastertime, this fun celebration combines learning and tons of activity to absolutely memorable results.
There’s a lot to explore during the Aquarium Alligator Egg Hunt, starting with a meet and greet with one of the aquarium’s favorite residents, a live baby alligator. Attendees will learn all about these unique animals before creating special alligator Easter egg baskets to celebrate the occasion. From there, it’s on to the aquarium garden to go on a hunt for “alligator” Easter Eggs throughout the garden grounds. Each session has limited space, and the popular annual event tends to sell out quickly, so visitors will want to plan accordingly. A fun outing that animal lovers of all ages will adore, the annual Aquarium Alligator Egg Hunt is an educational springtime celebration that adds a little twist to an otherwise traditional holiday event.
