Easter Fun for the Whole Family in Halton

Spring has finally sprung! If you’re anything like us, you’re eager for the arrival of warmer, sunnier days, plants in full bloom, and the opportunity to spend more time exploring the beautiful areas around us. Easter is just around the corner, and it marks the transition from winter (knock on wood!) to springier days ahead. 

It’s time to hop into the spirit of the season with fun activities for you and your family to enjoy and we’re taking a look at the Halton Region this month, an area that is bursting with events and opportunities to create lasting memories. From photo ops with everyone’s favourite bunny to egg hunts and everything in between, here are some of the top Easter activities to enjoy in Halton this April:

Some-bunny to Love

Capture the magic of the Easter season with a photo of your little ones with the Easter bunny. The Burlington Centre and Oakville Place are hosting special Easter Bunny photo experiences until April 8th. Reservations are encouraged to ensure that your family has a chance to snap some special memories. This year, pet photos with the bunny are available too! Make sure to check out the Burlington Centre + Oakville Place websites for more information and to save your spot!

Get Hunting!

Get ready for an egg-citing adventure with egg hunts happening throughout Halton. Get outside and discover some new favourites in Downtown Oakville as you work your way through their digital egg hunt. Find the egg decals hidden in various shop windows for your chance to win gift cards! The contest closes on April 9th, so make sure to participate before it’s too late. 

If you’re looking for a more traditional egg hunt experience, there are a few great options to consider! Start the weekend off with an Easter Egg Hunt at Rivercroft’s Lakeshore location on Friday, April 7th where you’ll be able to look for eggs, warm up by the bonfire, and take home some Easter treats.

Duran Place for Kids will also be hosting an Easter Egg Hunt at Sovereign House in Oakville on Saturday, April 8th, with 4 different start times to choose from. Your kiddos will be able to hunt for eggs, exchange them for fun Easter treats, and even have a chance to meet our favourite bunny!

Amazing Adventures Indoor Playland & Parties in Oakville is also hosting an Easter Egg Hunt Extravaganza throughout the weekend, taking place on Friday, Sunday, and Monday. Let the little ones work off some energy as they scour the indoor playland for the hundreds of eggs that have been hidden within! Make sure to register early to secure your spot.
