Hop down the bunny trail with Peter Cottontail and celebrate spring with family at friends at Fairytale Town's annual Spring Eggstravaganza. The event is set for Saturday and Sunday, April 3 and 4 from 11AM to 3PM, and offers egg hunts, puppet shows, hands-on arts activities - and photos with the big Rabbit himself!
 
Egg Hunts will be held promptly at 12PM, 1PM, and 2PM each day and guests are encouraged to bring a basket for collecting eggs. The Egg Hunts are separated by age groups. Children three and under will hunt on the main lawn in front of the Mother Goose Stage, ages four to six will find eggs in the Pooh Corner, and those ages seven to 12 will track eggs behind King Arthur's Castle!  Each child will return their eggs to Mr. McGregor's Garden to receive a prize - no matter how few or how many eggs they find! (This activity is included in park admission.)
 
After the Egg Hunts, guests are invited to the Children's Theater to see the puppet show, Bunny Boot Camp. The zany comedy includes heroic characters, devious villains, and madcap chase scenes. The puppet show is also a safe place to give a child their first experience seeing live theater, and helps build interest in stories and reading. Most activities for the Spring Eggstravaganza event are included in paid park admission. Tickets for Puppet Art Theater performances are an additional $1 for members, $2 for nonmembers, with showtimes at 12:30PM, 1:30PM & 2:30PM.

After seeing a show, head on over to the Mother Goose Stage where you can take a photo with the Big Bunny of the season ($5 additional charge), or participate in a variety of age-appropriate spring art activities, which you can take home as a souvenir.
 
"Springtime is beautiful at Fairytale Town," says Executive Director Kathy Fleming. "The flowers are blooming, the squirrels are active, and a family of ducks usually drops in for a visit to our menagerie of barnyard animals. And with so many other fun activities, it's a great time for a family to visit here - and create memories!"

Fairytale Town is open 9AM to 4PM daily (weather permitting), and event activities take place from 11AM to 3PM.  Park admission is $4.50 per person, ages 3 and up. Children 2 and under are free of charge.
