Munich. The start of the Easter holidays traditionally marks the beginning of the season at Munich Zoo. The popular Easter Rally, with its exciting prizes, particularly delights children every year. "Many families take advantage of the spring-like weather for their first visit of the year to the zoo. Therefore, before the Easter holidays, the last remnants of winter are removed, the water is let back into the ditches, and Hellabrunn is made ready for use," explains Zoo Director Rasem Baban. "I'm also delighted that the new Hellabrunn suspension bridge on the Auer Mühlbach stream was completed on time and has turned out really great." The family highlight of Easter in Munich is the Easter egg hunt in a warm, spring-like atmosphere. It all begins on Good Friday (April 18, 2025) and runs until Easter Monday (April 21, 2025). The Easter bunnies have hidden wooden silhouettes of Easter eggs, bunnies, and chicks throughout the animal enclosures. You have to find these wooden figures! A participant card will be distributed on which the locations of the figures are recorded. Those who have written down the correct number on a participation card hand it in at the exits and can win one of the many prizes... from an annual pass to a backpack!

Spring and the start of the season begin during the Easter holidays at Munich's Hellabrunn Zoo
The new season begins with the Easter holidays: It's that time again, because from now on, most of the animals are already romping around in their outdoor enclosures on the Isar meadows. The fresh greenery, the many flowering trees, and a varied program for the whole family brighten up a holiday day.
The Easter Rally in Hellabrunn - Find the wooden silhouettes of Easter eggs and Easter bunnies at Hellabrunn Zoo
- The Easter holidays begin with the popular Easter Rally for the whole family. From Good Friday to Easter Monday, Hellabrunn Zoo offers a special program.
- Wooden silhouettes of Easter eggs and Easter bunnies have been hidden in many selected animal enclosures.
- Those who enter the correct number on the entry card available at the ticket offices and drop it into the boxes at the exits will be entered into a raffle.
... Among the prizes are vouchers for an annual pass
and for open tours
as well as backpacks from "Step by Step."
La presidente del consiglio di sorveglianza e sindaco Verena Dietl ha sottolineato alla stampa:
"La Pasqua è il momento ideale per le famiglie e il nostro splendido zoo è la meta ideale per le prime giornate di sole primaverili... I prati lungo il fiume Isar, in particolare, sono inondati di un verde fresco e una vista sui prati fioriti di Hellabrunn è sempre un'esperienza imperdibile. Se poi si vedono anche i tanti animali nei recinti esterni che si godono il bel tempo, la visita diventa un'esperienza speciale."

The Chairwoman of the Supervisory Board and Mayor Verena Dietl emphasized to the press:
"Easter is family time – and our beautiful zoo is an ideal destination for the first sunny days of spring... The Isar meadows, in particular, are ablaze with fresh green, and a view of the colorfully blooming meadows at Hellabrunn is always worthwhile. When you also see many animals in the outdoor enclosures enjoying the beautiful weather, the visit becomes a special experience."
With the start of the Easter holidays,
the season begins again at Hellabrunn!
Due to various construction projects, some animals have moved into new quarters:
- The Javan bantengs can currently be seen in the outdoor rhino enclosure,
- the greater kudus have moved into the Mhorr gazelle enclosure,
- and the Hartmann's mountain zebras are temporarily living in the former kiang enclosure.
A necessary roof renovation of the stable buildings will bring some changes, therefore, unfortunately, no bird of prey training can take place in the Hellabrunn Arena in 2025.
"Due to the renovation of the roof of the banteng stable, the birds of prey living there also have to change their quarters, so training is unfortunately not possible," explains Baban.
In addition, due to the continued high risk of the spread of various animal diseases, the petting zoos in Mühlendorf and on the Isar River must unfortunately remain closed.
