Easter Bunny Fun Day is a fun family event on Saturday March 30 from 10-4:30 at the Connecticut Trolley Museum in East Windsor. Your child will get an Easter egg containing a surprise, and a small craft to create. Around the Museum will be face painting, tattoos, train tables to play at, bubble tables, and of course the Easter Bunny. Explore the trolley cars, enjoy a film on trains and trolleys in the theater, and shop for souvenirs in the gift shop.

Also on Saturday March 30 there will be a special bunny themed story read at Barnes and Noble in Manchester at 11 am. Knuffle Bunny, Guess how much I love you and Home for a Bunny will be read with a fun craft to follow.
