T
here will be plenty of family
fun to be had with a cracking
Easter egg trail taking place
from Saturday, 31 March
to Sunday, 14 April. It will be free to
take part in the trail after you have
paid your entrance fee for the zoo
and, what is more, you could even
win the chance to join the zookeepers
for a day and help them look after
the wide variety of creatures they
care for at Hanwell.
This spring is a perfect
opportunity to meet
the 30 species of bird
that call Hanwell
Zoo their home,
resplendent again
after the cold of
winter. Six-foot red
crowned cranes,
amazing Caribbean flamingos and
a flock of black cheeked lovebirds
are just some of the many feathered
friends assembled from across the
world as part of the zoo’s impressive
conservation work.
There are also plenty of other animals
to grab your attention, including a mob
of meerkats, the loveable lemur group
(which Around Ealing readers helped
to name) and the popular Emperor
Tamarin monkeys. Once you have seen
the animals there do not forget to leave
time for children to enjoy the newly
built water play area.
Hanwell Zoo is in Brent Lodge
