This Easter season, you’re on the hunt—but you want to be on the hunt for the eggs themselves, not the events where the hunts are happening. So, we did that work for you. We went out, hunted, and collected some of the best Easter activities. There are visits with the Easter Bunny, egg hunts, and other festivities. Here’s what we found:

Visits with the Bunny

These are events where your kids (either human or animal) can meet the Easter Bunny—and capture the memory with a photo.
