Younger children roam through the Sunken Garden seeking the candy-filled eggs, while the older children search on the rest of the LVIS grounds. Prizes are given to those who find one of several golden eggs, and the Easter bunny is always present for photo-ops. Thousands of eggs are placed throughout the grounds by our member volunteers, and somehow, no matter how many eggs we add each year, they manage to disappear in no time," LVIS said.
