2024 VIP Storytime & Photos
with the Easter Bunny
Is a quick photograph once a year simply not enough time for you and the Easter Bunny? We understand – and we have a solution for you - come spend some extra time with the Easter Bunny during a very special early-open VIP Storytime!
During this cozy limited-capacity feature, 15 kiddos will gather close as a friend of the Easter Bunny tells a tale of tails designed to delight! Afterwards, each child will be able to sit with the Easter Bunny for a photograph before adventuring out into the zoo. Be sure to bring your camera to capture the magic!
What about adults? A paid ticket is required for each child age 12 and younger. The ticket includes the child's admission PLUS allows for one adult to accompany the child. This program room must maintain a strict capacity due to fire code. This means if you plan on bringing additional adults beyond the single adult included with a child's ticket, please have every additional adult purchase his/her own program ticket.
Everyone must ALSO have a same-day 10 AM zoo admission ticket to attend: Roger Williams Park Zoo is still using timed entry to reduce crowding on grounds. Each non-member attendees (plus their accompanying family) must have a same-day 10 AM zoo admission ticket or they will not be allowed inside. The zoo ticket is a separate requirement from this program admission, so be sure to reserve both when ordering.
Important tips for arrival: Be sure to check-in at the zoo entrance at 9 AM (which means arriving early for parking). This program starts promptly at 9:15 AM at a venue about 5-10 minutes from the main entrance, so we don't want you to miss out! As you plan, please be sure to allot extra time for driving, parking, and reaching the main entrance!
When will this program occur? Join us March 23, 24, 29 & 30 for some festive fun! The program runs 9:15 - 9:45 AM at the Great Room (across from cheetahs).
What do I bring? Be sure to bring a camera to capture the magic! Though the program is indoors, zoo exhibits are mostly outdoors and some queueing may also be outdoors, so please dress comfortably and in tune with the forecasts.
READY TO BUY? HERE'S HOW!
Non-members must add same-day 10 AM zoo admission tickets to your cart. Every guest will need a ticket, regardless of age.
Zoo members: You do not need to purchase your zoo general admission ticket in advance (though you will need to be a VIP ticket in advance). However, for speediest entry you may choose to reserve your ticket online.
Please know the online processing fee is not refundable for any guest.
Then, add separate same-day VIP Storytime and Photos with the Easter Bunny program admission(s) to the cart.
Easter Bunny program tickets are required for each child/baby age 12 & under. If you have multiple children attending, please reserve multiple admissions. Each program ticket admits one complimentary adult.
