All other age groups will hunt without parents. Each hunt will have one Grand Prize egg and the lucky hunter will receive a basket full of candy, prizes and toys.

After the hunt, enjoy family-friendly amusements and photos with the Easter Bunny. Amusements include UNLIMITED rides on moon bounce houses, inflatable obstacle courses, inflatable slides, and face painting. Food vendors will be on-site, but families are welcome to bring picnics to enjoy at their favorite spots in the park.
