12 Great Restaurants in Atlanta for Easter Brunch and Dinner with Kids

Choose from a family brunch, picnic lunch, or dinner package at  La Madeleine French Bakery.

Easter is a special time to get dressed up and enjoy family time. With the weather (hopefully) favorable in early April, it's also a great opportunity to dine al fresco at some of Atlanta's restaurants that serve up a festive Easter Sunday meal. 

Families who prefer takeout have plenty of options, too.  Either way, we can still gather around the table to dye Easter eggs or perhaps another holiday craft; enjoy an Easter egg hunt in the backyard, balconies, or living rooms; and dress in our Easter best to share a special brunch or dinner with our families.

All of them taking cooking off your plate, so you can relax and enjoy the day.

With Easter around the corner, it’s time to fill those baskets and schedule your annual Easter Bunny pictures and meet and greets with everyone's favorite springtime celebrity. We’ve gotten ahold of his social calendar and rounded up opportunities for bunny encounters and other Easter fun for families in Westchester and the Hudson Valley.

Whether you want to have breakfast with the Easter Bunny, ice skate, or join him on a train ride, there are plenty of opportunities. We recommend you hop to it, though, as limited capacity and pre-registration is required for many of these fun encounters.

For more Easter fun, check out our Spring Fun Guide, which has some fun at-home activities like these Easter crafts and egg dyeing ideas and 30+ ways to elevate egg hunts at home. We've also rounded up our top things to do in March, and our Event Calendar gets constant updates, too.

Are you ready to get out of town and see some new scenery? Covid cases are falling (yay!) but it’s probably still not the right time to book a flight to a favorite exotic resort or massive hotel. But a road trip to a vacation home rental somewhere in gorgeous, sunny California is just the ticket: meticulously cleaned before you arrive, no crowded spaces, and the chance to be someplace new, different, and fresh.

Since we’re not traveling to packed tourist destinations, we wanted to find the best places to visit where the actual vacation rental was part of the attraction—so here are treehouses, a-frames, cabooses, and space ships (seriously) that are on the beach, in the mountains, in the city, or on alpaca farms. Read on to discover where in California your next family vacation will be.

Visiting Joshua Tree National Park is an otherworldly experience: groves of twisted trees and giant boulders create enchanting settings so unique, you might think you have stepped into a fairy tale—or landed on an alien planet. Approximately a two-hour drive from Los Angeles and a stone's throw from Palm Springs, this park is great for a family camping adventure or just a day hike because it captures everyone’s imagination. Stroller-friendly trails make it a great option for little trekkers, as do several walks easy enough for young kids (or tired grown-ups) to maneuver. But teens and tweens who never tire won't run out of rocks and boulders to climb over.

Read on to get the latest information on what's open, what to see, and how to explore this spectacular local national park. Spending the night? Check out our 10 Favorite Joshua Tree Airbnbs, Hotels, and Campgrounds for Families.
