Looking for a local Easter egg hunt for your children? Or an Easter parade, Easter brunch or breakfast or other Easter events in Alaska? Scroll down this page and you will see all of those in Alaska, sorted by county. ALWAYS either see their website or call before you go to confirm the info, there are often last minute changes which they do not report to us! If you have missed the Easter egg hunts in your area (or they were canceled), see this page about how to easily have your own backyard or local park Easter egg hunt.
If you know of one we missed and want to add it or correct the information, please let me know! There are affiliate links on this page. Read our disclosure policy to learn more.
Updates for May 2023
Easter egg hunts are back! I'm updating the info every day. Unfortunately MOST wait until the last minute (often just a few days before) to publish their dates, times and details. I'm updating their information daily as it comes in., but there are thousands yet to check. When we CONFIRM an event for 2023, the date will be highlighted in pink, like this passage to make them easy to find as you scroll down the page. Orange highlights means it was definitely held last year, but we have not yet been able to confirm it for this year.
RELATED: You may also want to
go to a local farm to
Pick Your Own fruit and vegetables; strawberries start very soon in most areas! Farms will be open, and it's quite safe out in a field,
where people are not close to each other!
And if you are looking to save money on children's clothes, toys, books, etc, find a local
children's consignment sale, also often held by churches in
the Spring and Fall, click
here!
ALWAYS click the links to check date and time with the event's own website, as there are often last minute cancellations, postponements or changes to locations due to weather (like heavy rains) or logistical problems, just click on the link to the event's website and (in most cases), you want to click on the "events" link or "calendar" link on their website.
Or use their site search for "Easter". Do let them know you found them here, so
they will update us next year. Since many egg hunts do not publish the
current year's dates until the very last minute, or simply never respond to
email, we may not get their
current information, which is why we have links to their websites, Facebook
pages and calendars. Besides egg hunts, there are also Easter breakfasts and brunches and
Easter parades to watch!

FOur Easter Egg Hunts have become an annual event for many families. It is a relaxing family event where the kids can participate in a noncompetative egg hunt and interact with the farm animals. As you come onto the farm and check in at the table, the children are given an Easter basket with color book, crayons, fun items and crackers to feed the animals. There is a designated egg hunt area where each child can gather five plastic eggs with candy in them. There is a limit of five eggs per child, partly because of the number of children that come through over the weekend (we fill over 800 eggs) and also upon parents request. But... once you have enjoyed all the activities, as you are leaving, make sure you stop by the check-in table to pick a bigger prize, such as a chocolate Easter bunny or another prize of their choice. Other Farm activities include feeding all the farm animals.Cost: $35 per child. For info, call. PRE-REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED*
