The 5 Coolest Easter Egg Hunts in New York City This Year
Contrary to popular belief, the Easter Bunny doesn't need rolling hills, fields of flowers, or room to roam. If you give him some space (he understands city living, don't worry), he'll find all sorts of creative ways to make egg hunting magic happen in public parks, farms, museums, and even grocery stores. So, if you're spending Easter in New York City this year — whether you're a visitor or a local — consider checking out one (or a few!) of these popular Easter egg hunts for kids.
Sure, you could just hide some eggs in your living room — but you could also turn this traditional activity into a fun-filled day in the Big Apple.
Just like everything else in NYC and its surrounding areas, these events can get very busy or worse, sell out. To ensure that you and your little bunnies can get in on the action, buy tickets in advance and show up early. Happy hunting!

This Easter, bring your kids' PAW Patrol obsession to life by introducing them to their favorite fire-fighting pup, Marshall. (Okay, the dog at the New York City Fire Museum isn't actually from the TV show, but his name is Hot Dog and he's equally as cute.) The egg hunt takes place on the first and second floors of the museums, which means kids will dig through fire trucks and hoses to find treasure.

While there, kids can also meet Whiskers the Bunny, play outdoor games, stop by the petting zoo, and even take a hayride around the farm.
