Want to take Your Children to an Easter Egg Hunt, Easter Parade, Easter Train Ride or other Easter event in 2011?

Here's Where to Find Easter Fun in Pennsylvania!

There are Easter Eggs hunts all over Pennsylvania in 2011!  They are great fun for families with children!  Most allow children from babies through elementary school to participant in the actual hunt, but almost all also have many other activities, music, food and entertainment for adults and older children.  The egg hunts are usually right around Easter (obviously), often late March or early April - just click on the link to the event's website to find this year's date! There are also Easter breakfasts and brunches and Easter parades to watch! And if you would like to make your own natural organic Easter Egg dye, here's how to do it!

 

Always confirm dates and times via the contact information provided - they often change or cancel and do not tell me!
