Easter weekend is upon us, and that means family fun for everyone. Kids are getting excited for the surprises the Easter Bunny will bring, parents are ready for family time and good food, and everyone can't wait to see what the Easter eggs have in store for them. The question is, where do you celebrate? 

Lauritzen Gardens is the perfect place to spend the entire Easter Weekend with the family.

Families can come and enjoy Easter egg hunts for all ages! But wait... that's not where the Extravaganza stops! You can snap an eggcelent photo with the Easter Bunny and create beautiful crafts with the family. 

The Easter Extravaganza is from 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM. The crafts will be available from 9:00-11:00 AM and Easter egg hunts for ages 2 - 12 years old will be at 10:00 AM, 10:30 AM, 11:00 AM, and 11:30 AM. If your child is below 2 years old there will be a separate area designated for them to enjoy Easter egg hunts as well. The Easter Bunny is on site all morning (bring your camera) ​!

The cafe opens on-site at 9:00 AM and will have coffee, beverages, and breakfast to tide your hunger while you enjoy your time.
