Hop to it! The hunt is on for South Florida events where kids can fulfill their annual mission: searching for colorful plastic Easter eggs.
The Easter Bunny has a busy spring schedule packed, posing for photos and cheering participants on from the sidelines, but he’s also planning a day at the beach and a breakfast meet-and-greet.
Looking for other outside-the-basket activities? Kids can collect marshmallows dropped from a helicopter, or dive into a pool to collect eggs from the surface below. And don’t forget after-dark egg hunts, which are geared toward teenagers and adults in search of festive friendly competition.
Below, we have a city-by-city guide to egg-citing events happening over the next two weekends in Broward and Palm Beach counties.
Please note: For each event, check in advance whether you need to bring your own basket or other supplies.
