Animal Land’s Good Friday Appeal Egg Hunt: A Toy’s Story to Remember!

🎉 Good Friday Appeal 2024: A Toy's Story of Giving at Animal Land 🐣💛

On Thursday 18th April 2024, Animal Land proudly hosted our annual Good Friday Appeal Egg Hunt, and what an incredible day it was! With a heartwarming Toy’s Story theme, magical characters, and non-stop fun, we welcomed 817 guests to a sold-out event—and together, we raised an amazing $44,348.50 in support of the Royal Children’s Hospital Good Friday Appeal.

This event is deeply special to us. It’s more than an egg hunt—it’s about coming together as a community to help sick kids and their families, and we are so grateful to everyone who joined us in making it unforgettable.
