Get Hopping! 23 Egg-citing Easter Egg Hunts & Activities

Get ready! Seattle Parks and Recreation is hosting Easter egg hunts at local community centers in 2022. Always an easy option, these free outdoor romps are great for kids. You bring the basket, they “hide” hundreds of eggs for kids to find. Most of the hunts are geared toward kids ages 3-11, but there are a couple of options for teens and a sweet tot egg hunt for kids ages 1-3 at Green Lake this year. Our advice? Get there with plenty of time to spare. These events start on time and eggs are gathered faster than you can say “hop to it.” Here’s where you’ll find all the action in 2022:
