Zoo Miami's Eggsafari has a hidden, gory secret. Yes, there are egg "safaris," face painting, and an appearance by the Easter Bunny for the kids. But what makes this totally rad is watching various zoo animals tear into their special Easter gifts.
We're talking egg-shaped blood pops for the African lions, painted coconuts for the Bengal tigers, baskets for the Asian elephants, and meat-filled eggs for the harpy eagles. Good times! Find the special animal-feeding schedule here. April 23 and 24 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Adults $15.95, kids $11.95. Purchase tickets online here. 12400 SW 152nd St., Miami
