As the weather returns to liveable normalcy and we all come out of our own hibernation rabbit holes, the perfect springtime activity is going on a wabbit hunt. Here are the top 10 places to spot the Easter Bunny from coast to coast.
Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge, AB
Enjoy an elegant Easter brunch in the heart of The Rockies for an Easter celebration at the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge. The little ones can participate in an egg hunt and the whole family can partake in a myriad of fun activities all day long.
Frontenac Mall, Kingston, ON
For those who live in the Kingston area and are looking for places to spot the Easter Bunny, you may just find him accepting lap-visits and handing out good wishes at Frontenac Mall. The mall will also have interactive displays with live farm animals and a petting zoo. Be sure to check their website for specific bunny-visit times.
Colasanti’s, Kingsville, ON
Colasanti’s provides family fun all year long, but at this time of year, not only can you play their 18-hole indoor mini putt course, take a spin on their rides or bumper cars, and play in their arcade, but you can also spot the Easter Bunny on Friday, April 6th during their annual scavenger hunt.
Upper Canada Mall, Newmarket, ON
Newmarket’s most popular shopping destination is also where the bunny hangs out around Easter in this neck of the woods. He’ll be sitting in Centre Court and you can go online now to prepay for your visit so you won’t have to wait in line!
Willowbrook Shopping Centre, Langley, BC
If you’ll be in the Langley area for Easter be sure to check out Willowbrook, where a trip to see the bunny could also do some good for the community. Every child will receive a butterfly garden seed packet to take home and a plant (while quantities last), and net proceeds will benefit the Heart & Stroke Foundation of Canada.
Canadian Museum of Civilization, Ottawa, ON
One of the best places to spot the Easter Bunny is in the capital region – he would never miss out on a quick visit to Parliament Hill. And kiddies can have fun with a meet and greet with the bunny himself at the Canadian Museum of Civilization – there will be presentations in both English and French.
Ecomuseum Zoo, Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue, QC
Located just outside of Montreal, the Ecomuseum Zoo plans a yearly Easter party and this time around it will be the 20th annual eco-egg hunt. The special activities for the day are all included in the admission price.
Calgary Zoo, Calgary, AB
Where jumping is strongly encouraged, Calgarians looking for places to spot the Easter Bunny will find him hoppin’ with the other animals at the Zoo. There will be face-painting, arts & crafts, an egg dig, a corn maze to explore, and so much more.
Garden City Shopping Centre, Winnipeg, MB
Garden City is the place to be for Easter in Winnipeg, and the bunny will only be there from noon till 3pm – he’ll be available for pictures and children will receive a yummy Laura Secord chocolate treat with each visit.
Bedford Place Mall, Halifax, NS
Those who live on the East Coast and want to find places to spot the Easter Bunny should set their sights on Bedford Place. The infamous rabbit will be making several appearances there so don’t miss him!
