ages 2 and under. All other age groups will hunt without parents. Each hunt will have one

In addition to all our egg hunt options, there will be UNLIMITED rides on a jumbo slide, jump
climb & slide, obstacle courses, face painting, and other amusements. Food vendors will be on
site or families are invited to bring lunches to enjoy a picnic at their favorite spot in the park.
Families should also remember their cameras for great photo opportunities with the Easter
Bunny.

of admission includes all attractions except food vendors. Parents pay no admission fee and
