Hippity, Hoppity Happenings

What’s not to celebrate this weekend? Spring is finally here, we have four-days to play, and for some of us, a visit from the Easter Bunny means chocolate treats to enjoy. With so many fun activities happening throughout the Lower Mainland, you’re sure to enjoy a non-stop ride to chocolate Easter Egg heaven!

For some Easter fun this weekend that won’t make a mess at home, check out the Easter Eggstravaganza Events at a number of local community centres. For an outdoor Easter experience with lots of excitement, head to Stanley Park for the annual Easter Egg Madness in the Children’s Farmyard and Miniature Train area. In addition to the Easter Train (April 2–5) there’s also an all-day Easter Egg Hunt in the Farmyard from 11 am–4 pm, visits from the Easter Bunny and Easter Chick, Scavenger Hunts for older children and lots of festive fun (for children 2–12 years of age). 

If you live a little further afield, Bear Creek Park in Surrey has lots of fun Easter activities, too. From 10 am–5 pm on April 2–5, visit with the Easter Bunny, ride the Easter Train, and make crafts. Children (aged 2–12) are welcome for an old-fashioned egg hunt. Head to Surrey Nature Centre on April 3 (10 am–1 pm) for an Eco Easter Egg Hunt in the forest. Meet some new forest friends, enjoy some treats and participate in some Easter activities and crafts while there.

If you just want to spend some time outdoors enjoying the warm weather, head to Aldor Acres in Maple Ridge, which is open for “Easter on the Farm” from 10 am–4 pm on April 2–5. Join a hayride, visit with the animals and learn about spring on a farm. The cost is $6 per person.

Celebrate this long weekend with lots of great local events that are sure to keep your family hopping!
