Easter at Secret Valley Wildlife Park Wexford

 
Easter festival 2026
“The Easter Bunny’s Big Suprise” 
 
Something very special has happened this year at Secret Valley! The Easter Bunny has arrived early!
 
He loved the place so much that he’s decided to create his very own mini farm at the park – bringing his furry friends with him, such as rabbits, chicks and goats!
 
However he has one problem…
 
The grumpy farmer has decided he wants ALL the Easter eggs for himself.. So the Easter Bunny and his friends have moved them to his new Easter village for safe keeping.
 
You must follow the trail, complete the Easter Bunny farm work check-list and meet the bunny himself to get a special thank you surprise!
Enjoy a fun-filled Easter experience with hands-on animal encounters, including hand-feeding llamas and alpacas, bottle-feeding baby goats, and meeting Easter chicks. Learn fascinating animal facts during scheduled talks, take part in woodland tasks, help plant the Easter Bunny’s flower garden, meet the Easter Bunny and friends in the Easter Village, hop on the special Easter tractor ride, and finish your adventure with an Easter treat. 🐣🌷🐰
