With tails wagging and faces lighting up, they’ll be thrilled to share the experience with their furry friends.
This Easter, we’re taking it to the next level! Join us on the 26th and 27th of April for the Paws and Claws Easter Adventure, a unique event where the wonders of science meet the fascinating animal kingdom.
For the first time ever, pets are welcome at Esplora! Bring your pets along and dive into a world of exciting, hands-on activities, live animal attractions, and interactive exhibits. You’ll meet a wide variety of animals—everything from reptiles to exotic creatures—and visit our adoption corner to meet adorable, adoptable pets in need of a loving home.
Imagine the joy on your child’s face as they explore the world of animals, asking endless questions and making new discoveries. They’ll learn how animals communicate, adapt, and thrive in their environments, and even get the chance to explore the science behind pet care and behaviour. For budding veterinarians, we’ll be hosting workshops where they can learn what it takes to care for animals and become a vet.
The Paws and Claws Easter Adventure offers an unforgettable mix of fun and learning for all ages. Don’t miss out on this animal-filled, educational journey—whether your child is fascinated by animals, dreams of becoming a vet, or just loves Easter fun, there’s something for everyone to enjoy!
