Adopt this year’s Easter gift from the Fort Worth Zoo

FORT WORTH, Texas – Looking for an alternative to the traditional wicker basket loaded with sugar and trinkets? Animal “adoptions” are a great Easter gift for anyone! The Fort Worth Zoo’s adoption program allows you to give a package of distinctive goodies, with a twist.

Because we have a limited number of ostrich eggs, there are only 15 “Eggtastic Easter” packages available for purchase. Eggs were hand-painted by local artists and no egg is exactly alike. Because of the delicate nature of the ostrich eggs, this package is only available for pick-up and will be ready starting April 1, 2009.

For more information about the Zoo’s adoption program or to purchase an Easter basket online visit www.fortworthzoo.org, or call 817/759-7372 to order by phone. Orders must be received by April 10, 2009, to ensure mail delivery by April 12. Please allow two days for processing.
