How Our Easter Egg Hunt Works:
- Find Your Age Group: We have 4 hunts spread throughout the park, each for specific age ranges: • Under 2 years old • 2-4 years old • 5-7 years old • 8+ years old
- Register Together: If you have kids in different age groups, register them to the eldest group. For example, a 4-year-old cannot join the under-2 group, but an under-2-year-old can join the 2-4 group.
- Time & Arrival: Check your age group’s time slot and arrive 15 minutes early for registration. There will be color-coded signage showing designated age groups.
- Follow the Leader: Our friendly group leaders will take you to the designated hunt area within the park.
- Hunt Begins! Thousands of empty eggs are hidden, so everyone has a chance to find at least one!
- Prizes for All: After the hunt, exchange your found eggs for a guaranteed surprise. In case you didn’t find any: don’t worry! The prizes are guaranteed.
- Explore & Enjoy: Stay and play in the park after the hunt! The entire park will be open, and a food truck will be on-site. Keep an eye open for the Easter Bunny for the photo op!
