Easter Weekend in Boston with Kids: Egg Hunts & Big Apple Circus April 4-5
Happy Easter and Passover! With both holidays this weekend, families can find plenty of things to do. Those hoping to squeeze in a last Easter activity can still find the Easter Bunny this weekend, often at some of the biggest egg hunts around town. Some special places to spot the bunny include the Bunny Bonanzoo at the Stone Zoo (pictured) and the Easter Egg Dash at the Paragon Carousel in Hull. Those looking for a first taste of Passover can join in the Community Passover Seder in Brookline. Saturday is also opening day at the Frog Pond Carousel, a great way to enjoy spring.
Families looking to catch a performance this weekend have plenty of options as well. The spectacle under the big top at the Big Apple Circus on City Hall Plaza in Boston is still going strong. Other performances include a Peter Rabbit puppet show in Brookline and the Tamagawa Daigaku Taiko and Dance Group in Boston.
Also on Mommy Poppins Boston this week:
- Turn treats into education by making Fun Learning Games with Leftover Easter Eggs.
- In spite of the terrible winter, you'll probably agree with Kristin's 25 Reasons Boston is the Best Place to Raise Kids.
- One sure sign of spring is all of the upcoming Sheepshearing and Wool Festivals in New England.
- These Easy Bunny and Chick Pretzel Easter Treats are as fun to make as they are to eat.
- Get your calendar ready! It's time to add our top picks for things to do with kids in April.
Enjoy your weekend and don't forget to check out our full Event Calendar!
