Some children started celebrating easter a little early over the weekend – at Zoo Boise.

For the first time in two years, the Easter EGGstravaganza returned to Zoo Boise, and to celebrate its return the zoo hosted the event two days in a row.

On Saturday and Sunday, Zoo Boise fans had the opportunity to meet the Easter bunny and get their hands on some of the more than 30,000 pieces of candy from candy stations all over the zoo.

Part of every admission to Zoo Boise goes directly to support wildlife conservation.

Zoo Boise has generated more than $3 million for the conservation of animals in the wild since 2007.
