Mad About Madagascar at Tropical Butterfly House

About

This Easter, the Tropical Butterfly House is proud to be ‘Mad About Madagascar’ with fun, themed activities taking place throughout the school holidays culminating in a popular Golden Easter Egg Hunt on Easter Sunday and Monday.

During this family focused event, visitors can take part in a twice daily lemur walkthrough encounter at Lemur Heights and see our red ruffed and ring tailed species. This gives visitors the opportunity of an unforgettable close-up experience with these entertaining Madagascan primates.

Visitors can also see two more animals native to Madagascar; mouse lemurs, the smallest primates in the world and tenrecs, a unique species with a similar appearance to a miniature hedgehog, in our small animal enclosure and in the Butterfly House, the brave might come face to face with a Madagascan hissing cockroach or a Dumeril’s boa as part of the exciting Exotic Animals Encounters. Amazing meerkat, otter and bird of prey encounters and free flying bird and animal displays will also be taking place.

On Easter Sunday and Monday, families can enjoy the centre’s popular Golden Easter egg hunt where youngsters can explore the wildlife park hunting for clues to earn an Easter egg treat. Throughout the holidays, visitors can also meet and hold Easter chicks and bunnies as well as take part in Easter and Madagascan themed crafts in the Activity Centre.

Don’t miss the chance to meet Rexy, the friendly T-Rex on our Dino Trail or take a tractor trailer ride around the park. Whatever the weather, conquer the Realm of Camelot adventure playground with its slides, tunnels and tower or enjoy the wet play area, ride-on tractors, a zip-wire, air cannons, sandpit and picnic area.
