Hippity, hoppity, Easter weekend is here! Maybe you were even lucky enough to have a day off work today! Berkeley is home to a couple of huge area Easter events - the Egg Hunt Extravaganza and The Eggster Egghunt and and Learning Festival. Whether you have children yourself or are hosting some younger family members for the weekend, these events are the perfect way to have a fun, family-friendly experience!
Egg Hunt Extravaganza
On Saturday beginning at 9:30 AM, Willard Park on Derby Street in Southeast Berkeley will be home to an Easter wonderland! A petting zoo, carnival and crafts are some of the activities that await you. Children up to age 11 may participate in the egg hunt, while children 11 and older may participate in an organized scavenger hunt. Participation in the egg hunt costs $6. After the hunt is over, you can join in on Bunny Hop dance lessons!
The Eggster Egghunt and Learning Festival
The University of California, Berkeley is home to the largest free egg hunt in our part of the state. The hunt takes place on Saturday at the Sather Tower on the UC Berkeley campus. In addition to the egg hunt, there is a silent auction with gift cards and sports memorabilia, raffle and music. Egg hunt participants will need to bring their own baskets, as none will be provided at the event itself. Please be advised, parking in this area can be difficult! Luckily, a walk to Sather Tower at UC Berkeley from Berkeley Central apartment homes only takes about 10 minutes!
