There will be plenty of opportunities for Ballard kids to go hunting for eggs on Easter weekend. Pictured here is a happy hunter at Woodland Park Zoo's Bunny Bounce.
Looking for a way to entertain the kids over Easter weekend? Check out the following egg hunts and spring events:
- Seattle Community Centers will be hosting their annual Spring Candy and Egg Hunt events Easter weekend.
Intended for kids ages 10 and younger, the egg hunt is free with a non-perishable food donation for the local food bank.
Organizers advice parents to plan in enough time to park and find the appropriate hunt area for their children's age groups.
This event runs rain or shine, and be sure to bring a basket or bag to put all of your goodies in.
The event will take place Saturday, April 7, at 10 a.m. at the Loyal Heights Community Center, 2101 NW 77th St., and the Ballard Community Center at 6020 28th Ave. NW.
- Bunny Bounce: egg hunts for kids and Easter treats for animals
Bounce to Woodland Park Zoo for egg hunts on the North Meadow and Easter-themed treats for the zoo’s animal residents at Bunny Bounce.
The annual event offers egg hunts for children ages 1 to 8, crafts, bunny encounters, and eggs-citing zoo programs throughout the day. Space for egg hunts might be limited and is open on a first-come, first-served basis.
As part of the zoo’s conservation mission, families must bring their own egg hunt basket or reusable bag. For the health and well being of zoo animals, candy will not be placed inside the eggs – egg hunt participants will receive their treats as they exit the zoo.
The zoo's residence will receive treats that day, too. The Easter-themed treats, such as baskets of flowers
and berries, are part of the zookeepers’ ongoing efforts to help enrich the lives of the zoo’s animals, promote natural animal behavior, keep animals mentally and physically stimulated and engage zoo visitors.
The Bunny Bounce will take place from 9:30 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, April 7.
Egg hunts for ages 3 and under are held in the Picnic Shelter near the North Meadow: 9:30 a.m.-2:00 p.m.
Egg hunts for ages 3-5 and 6-8 in the North Meadow: 10:00 a.m., 10:30 a.m., 11:00 a.m., 11:30 a.m., noon, 1:00 p.m., 1:30 p.m., 2:00 p.m.
