🐰 Easter Fun for Everyone
Easter isn’t until April 20, but the egg hunts are already in full swing! From farm festivities at Lee Farms and Triskelee Farm to indoor celebrations at DolFun Dynamics and City Play for Kids, there’s something for every bunny. Don’t miss the Easter hunt at Nordia House or the egg-cellent setup at Washington Square Mall. Looking for something free? Head to Bridgeport Village for free selfies with the Easter Bunny and a scavenger hunt. And be sure to grab tickets for Bella Organic’s Bunny Hop Easter Egg Hunt later this month—it’s a springtime favorite and proud sponsor of our Easter Fun Roundup.
🌷 Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival
Acres of vibrant blooms, carnival rides, food carts, and even hot air balloon rides? Yes, please. The Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival is a beloved tradition for a reason. If you’re looking to keep things low-key (and low-cost), swap tulips for trilliums on one of these free wildflower hikes closer to home.
