4/17/19 - By Lucie T

It's Easter weekend and don't worry: There are plenty of chances to catch Mr. Bunny and also hunt for an egg or two. Why not search for eggs at a playground with a bouncy house and petting zoo, in an open field (with games, too), or even around an antique carousel? Ever had brunch with a bunny? Now you can!

This weekend is also the perfect time to see the tale of a mischievous rabbit and explore the fascinating world of STEM at this yearly science fest. Celebrate the holiday and soak up knowledge—all in one weekend!
