2023 Easter Egg Hunts | Indianapolis and Surrounding Areas

Here comes Peter Cottontail, hoppin’ down the bunny trail. That’s right! Easter is on its way and we have an events calendar full of fun Easter-themed activities for you to enjoy with your family. Easter is a special time of the year that brings families and communities together—one popular tradition is the Easter egg hunt, a scavenger hunt for brightly colored eggs. If you’re planning to attend a public Easter egg hunt this year, here are some things to expect and other details to get you ready.

The first thing you need to know is the location and time of the Easter egg hunt. Most public Easter egg hunts are held in parks, community centers, and other public areas. Once you know the location and time, make sure to arrive early so you can find a good spot to watch the egg hunt. If the event you plan on attending requires pre-registration, be sure to sign up ahead of time!

2023 Egg Hunts Near Indianapolis

Easter egg hunts are often organized according to age groups. The younger children typically go first, followed by the older children. This is done to ensure that everyone has a fair chance to find the eggs. Make sure you know which age group your child falls into so you can plan accordingly.

Every Easter egg hunt has its own set of rules. Some events may have a limit on the number of eggs a child can find, while others may allow children to keep as many eggs as they can find. Some events may also have special prizes for the children who find the most eggs. Make sure you read the rules before the event so you can prepare your child and avoid any disappointment, especially with some of the super creative easter egg hunt ideas.

Many Easter egg hunts are held outdoors, so it’s important to dress appropriately. Make sure you and your child wear comfortable shoes and clothes that are appropriate for the weather. You may also want to bring sunscreen and a hat to protect your skin from the sun. Don’t forget to bring Easter baskets or a bag for your child to collect the eggs.

Above all, please remember that most of these egg hunt events are organized and moderated by volunteers. Please treat everyone with respect.
