Central Florida Zoo & Botanical Gardens is hosting our annual Hippity Hop on April 4th! This is our annual Spring-themed event. We will have treat stations, exciting activities, an appearance from the Easter Bunny, special enrichment for the animals, local vendors, and more!
We will need about 40 volunteers each day to make this event possible that will be assisting with treat stations, greeting, welcoming, and directing guests. We ask that volunteers be able to volunteer for the entire day from 8:00am-4:00pm. At this time, we are looking for volunteers who can attend the entire day. We will provide breaks for you and we have some great food sold on property at the Zoo if you need lunch to be purchased. Guests, staff, and volunteers will all be welcome to celebrate wearing family-friendly spring-themed clothes that are appropriate to the weather.
We do allow children ages 13 and up to volunteer. However, if they are under 18 years old, we will need 1 chaperone per every 1-2 children because we want to make sure they have an adult with them at all times.
What might you be doing at Hippity Hop?
- Treat Stations: Handing out candy to all our wild trick-or-treaters
- Activities: Have wild time with the guests operating our yard games where they get a chance to earn a special prize
- Photo Spot: Help guests capture the moment at one of our photo spots
- Greeter: Be the first impression to greet guests at admissions and throughout the park
