Auckland Zoo And The Lorax Speak For The Trees

Auckland Zoo is bringing Dr Seuss' The Lorax to life these April school holidays from Friday, 6 to Sunday, 22 April.

Some of the zoo’s animals depend on trees to live, so kids will be able to travel through the zoo during the holidays learning how they can speak for the trees (just like the Lorax!) on the Truffula Trail.

They will search out the specific animals on their Truffula Trail map where they will find a special message and a code letter, which needs to be written on their activity sheet. Once all the letters are found, the message can be cracked.

Every kid that comes into the zoo to do the Truffula Trail will also get a kids 2-for-1 voucher to see The Lorax at any EVENT Cinemas location, plus they’ll receive some native New Zealand seeds to be planted at home!

There will be plenty to see and do at the zoo these April school holidays, so make sure you bring the kids along. Normal zoo admission prices apply. Visit www.aucklandzoo.co.nz or phone 360 3805 for more information.

Dr Seuss' The Lorax is in cinemas from 29 March.
