The Very Hungry Caterpillar™ comes to Jersey Zoo

Hosted from 14 June until 31 August, the family friendly trail will enable visitors to follow the iconic caterpillar, as he munches his way through the natural world. Visitors will get to crawl, climb and capture their way through life-sized depictions of this world-renowned book.

As well as large 2-metre-high pop ups, the trail will also feature accompanying QR and augmented reality codes, as well as activities and games to help children with their days of the week, counting and understanding the life cycle of a butterfly.

Commenting on the trail, Ian Osborne, Director of Commercial at Jersey Zoo commented: “We are really excited to be bringing another trail to Jersey this summer. The Very Hungry Caterpillar™ is such a well-loved book, and this amazing trail is an excellent way for us to connect our visitors to nature in a fun and playful way. We are looking forward to seeing this beautiful tale come to life across the zoo.”
