Easter season means egg hunt fun in Champaign Urbana and beyond
Bring your kids to collect eggs, Easter bunnies and smiles and have fun this spring.
Easter is April 9th, but before that there are so many fun “egg” quotes you should mark on your calendars right now. For example, an egg hunt. Grab your basket and hop on the premier Easter egg hunt in and around the Champaign-Urbana region.
Note if you need to register in advance for some of these egg hunts and events.
To make this Easter ‘Eggstra’ extra special, we’ve also prepared some activities that you and your family can enjoy together.
Editor’s Note: Events are subject to change at any time. Please check with the event organizer before heading out to the 2023 Egg Hunt or Easter activities.

First, some egg hunt tips.
1. Many require pre-registration. (This is true for events in general, not just egg hunts.)
2. Some events have different times for different age groups. This can be difficult if you have multiple children, so plan accordingly.
3. Punctuality – those eggs run out quickly!
4. Don’t forget to bring a basket or something to use as a “basket”.
If you know of an Easter egg hunt, you should add it to this list. Please send it here.
