Updates for May 2025
Easter will be on Sunday, April 20, 2025, which is later, so the weather should be GREAT! ! We've started updating the info for this year. Unfortunately MOST wait until the last minute (often just a week before) to publish their
dates, times and details. We're updating their information daily as it comes in. We expect pages to be up
to date by early April.
- When we CONFIRM an event for 2025, the date will be highlighted in pink, like this
passage to make them easy to find as you scroll down the page.
- Hunts that were held in the past year or 2 but not yet confirmed for this year are in orange,
as always, call or see their website before you go..
- The ones NOT in either orange or pink are more dubious - held in the past but not confirmed in the past few years, so just our
best guess! These you REALLY must call or email to confirm before you go. They may have been discontinued.
RELATED:
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 Since many egg hunts do not publish the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!

Event date and time: Sunday, April 13, 2025

Bunny will be making a stop at the Diefenbunker Museum over Easter
weekend! You're invited to explore the Bunker with a unique twist on
your typical Easter Egg Hunt. In preparation for Easter weekend at the
Diefenbunker, the Easter Bunny (AKA Peter Cottontail) came for a visit
underground. After taking a tour through 100,000 square foot Bunker
turned museum, Mr. Cottontail decided to create a clever family-friendly
scavenger hunt using camouflaged eggs. There will be three levels of
difficultly to accommodate a variety of ages and abilities to guarantee
that everyone in the family will have a blast! Can you figure out where
the Easter Bunny has hidden all of the eggs inside the bunker?
Cost:
$12/person (infants under 2 are free)
Here's what you need to know:
Please note, Purchase your tickets for this special event in advance online or
by phone (613-839-0007). You must select a
specified entry time to the Museum when purchasing tickets. If you miss
your entry time, we will do our best to get you inside the Museum,
however if we are at capacity there may be a waiting period. We
highly recommend purchasing tickets for this special event in advance
online or by phone. Upon arrival, you'll be given a scavenger hunt
checklist and pencil to tally up where all the eggs are hidden. At the
end of your scavenger hunt, you will receive a treat bag that is
nut-free. Eggs are affixed to walls and other hiding spots and not
removable, so there is no need to bring an Easter basket. No chocolate
eggs will be hidden throughout the museum. Parking is free. No Public
Tours will be offered this weekend. Consider bringing a baby carrier,
instead of a stroller. The Museum is tough to navigate between floors
(you'd have to carry the stroller up and down stairs).
