Imagine you are a child and you are participating in an Easter egg hunt in the middle of a forest. This was the way that Bioparque da Amazônia chose to contribute to the affectionate memories of the children who visited the space this Sunday morning, the date of Easter celebration for Catholics.
According to João Carlos Alvarenga, CEO of Bioparque, around 200 chocolate eggs were distributed in safe locations in the institution’s toy area. “It was a great game that involved children, parents and friends. We are happy to promote, through this program, moments of fun and exchange of affection between people”, said Alvarenga.

After hunting for eggs, siblings Ana Clara, aged 3, João Miguel, aged 5, and Luiz Henrique, aged 7, enjoyed the park’s toys. Lawyer Ozeas Nunes, the children’s father, recorded the little ones’ joy with each new addition to the park. “They are happy and we are happy with their joy. It was a great schedule” he highlighted.
In addition to the Easter program, Bioparque held the inauguration of the Bioparque da Amazônia store, managed by businesswoman Ana Claudia.
