DETAILS!
Easter Egg Hunts: held hours of 11, 12, 1, 2 (Four hunt times for each age group*)

• Children ages 0-3 hunt at the top of the hour (11, 12, 1 and 2)

• Children ages 7-10 hunt at the top of the hour (11:40, 12:40, 1:40 and 2:40)

(*When you register at the door, you get a tickets for one hunt time.  A set number of tickets are given for each hunt to help manage crowd of children hunting at one time. When a hunt is “full” tickets for the next hunt are given. There over 10K eggs that will be put out, so no worries, there are plenty for everyone! The morning hunts fill up quickly, if you prefer a less crowded hunt, plan to attend in the afternoon. Children are welcome to bring an Easter Basket for the hunt, or they may use one of the plastic bags that is provided. Younger children CAN hunt at the same times as an older sibling, but it is important to request that ticket when you register (i.e you have a 3 year old and 6 year old… if you do not want to wait in line for two hunts, you can get a hunt ticket for your 3 year old in the same hunt with your 6 year old. Please note they will be hunting with other older kids.) It is important each child participates in the hunt they have a ticket for, as we put out eggs for a certain number of children to help allow each hunter to find 10 eggs. Each child may participate in one hunt only. Thank you!
