Pipi, the Kororā/Little Blue Penguin from Te Nukuao Wellington Zoo, has woken up to a bit of an Easter emergency… her eggs have gone missing from her nest!
The Welly wind has been at it again… sweeping Pipi’s eggs along the hill of the Wellington Cable Car.
She’s called in the Easter Bunny for backup, and now they need a team of sharp-eyed little helpers (that’s you!) to track them down.
Hop your way to the Wellington Cable Car this Easter and join the hunt.
Here’s how it works:
- Pick up your egg hunt sheet from the ticket box
- Keep count of all the hidden eggs you can spot in the terminals and along the track from inside the cars
- Don’t forget to BYO pen!
- Hand in your best guess to our ticket-box
If you correctly spot the number of Pipi’s missing eggs, you’ll be rewarded with a small Easter treat (while stocks last).
Running from Good Friday (3 April) to Easter Monday (6 April).
Bring your whānau and your best egg-spotting skills to help Pipi bring her eggs safely home.
Disembark the Cable Car at Kelburn Terminal for easy access to nearby attractions at the Cable Car summit. Enjoy the panoramic views of Wellington city and harbour, grab a bite to eat and continue discovering.
Enjoy the cozy playground with the kids and watch the iconic Cable Car go backwards and forwards. Visit the spectacular Kelburn Park Fountain that was built in the 1940's. Take a short walk from the Salamanca Station to Victoria University to visit the Adam Art Gallery.
Find your favourite spot on the over-bridge and watch both Cable Cars bypass each other on the passing loop.
Catch a glimpse of the past and present with a stop at Clifton Station to view the Cable Car Transition Mural.
Situated in the heart of Wellington CBD. Lambton Quay Station provides easy access to Wellington’s main shopping precinct.
Take in the Rainbow Mural by Gina Kiel while you wait for the Cable Car. The Cable Car Ticket Office is located at the end of the Cable Car Lane.
