I’m getting ready for an Easter experience packed with creativity and charm! Children ages 0-13 (members and non-members alike) will craft their own bunny mask, dye a real hard-boiled egg, and embellish a bunny box to carry it home, plus score a special DIY photo opportunity with the Easter Bunny himself.

The fun continues with two delightful story readings throughout the day. At 11:00 am, find out if you can outsmart the Easter Bunny in “How to Catch the Easter Bunny” by Adam Wallace, a hilarious, adventurous tale about a bunny with supersonic ears and lucky rabbit’s feet who is very good at staying hidden. 

Then at 1:00 pm, join Bear and his friends in “Bear Finds Eggs” by Karma Wilson as they hunt down Mama Meadowlark’s missing eggs, painting each one bright so none get lost again.
