The Easter programme forms part of a string of family attractions developed by the National Zoo for its visitors. According to Craig Allenby, NZG Commercial Services and Business Development Manager, the sustained rise in the popularity of urban tourism has seen visitor numbers soar.

"The zoo has become a family urban leisure destination attracting interest from across the province, and beyond," he says.
