Easter Egg Hunts in New York City for Kids in 2022

Easter Sunday is just a hop, skip, and a jump away, and one of the best ways to celebrate with kids is to attend one of these treat-filled Easter egg hunts in New York City. Most are outdoors in local playgrounds and parks, and a few even offer additional spring fun, like Easter Bunny photo-ops. There's even a hunt for kids with special needs on the Upper West Side.
Remember, Easter egg hunts in NYC are extremely popular, so book your tickets soon or arrive early, and be prepared to walk away if it feels uncomfortably crowded. If you dislike crowds, avoid the FREE Easter egg hunts and opt for those that carry a small fee as they usually cap the number of participants.
