Grab your baskets and get ready for the hunt! We’re not eggs-agerating when we say our Twin Cities egg hunt round-up is more massive than ever this year. Easter is Sunday, April 5 in 2026. Because Easter is later this year, we have a nice month-long spread of events. While you’ll find the majority of events are on the Saturday before Easter or one week earlier. Easter egg hunts are one of the most fun parts of spring for families with young children. Here is a list of Twin Cities egg hunts that are happening this year along with events where you can meet the Easter Bunny:

Over the years, through trial and error, we’ve come up with a short checklist of items to remember before running out the door to get to an Easter egg hunt.
- Don’t forget to bring easter baskets, bags or something to toss the eggs into during the hunt.
- Dress in layers for outdoor hunts. Minnesota spring is unpredictable.
- Most hunts start promptly at the time listed. Arrive a little early, so you can find parking, register (if necessary) and participate in other fun activities.
- Cancellations happen due to weather, ground conditions, health issues and other unexpected events. We highly recommend pre-registering when given the option, so you can get updates from the source.
If you know of a fun family event — free or paid — that you’d like to see added, please drop us a line via our contact form or just add a comment at the bottom of this article, and we will share with the community. Thanks! And check back often, as we will we be adding egg hunts to this list until Easter is upon us.
I appreciate you sharing this blog post. It was exactly what we needed today. Thanks Again.
Thank you, Julia. I hope you all had good hunting!

Hi, I can’t seem to locate the event MARCH 27, 2021: ROSEMOUNT LIONS CLUB SPRING EGG HUNT | AMES SOCCER COMPLEX, ROSEMOUNT, not on the Rosemount link, their facebook pg or website. Do you have a direct link to the event, thank you!
Hi Diane:
It is in the “Parks and Recreation Activities and Information Brochure” PDF that is at the link we provided. There does not appear to be pre-registration available. You just need to show up during your alphabetical time slot.
These are so nice and useful activities. Thanks for the share. I have just come across an article that Easter Math Worksheets. You can give it a read. They are really good.
Thank you, Shweta.
Is there anywhere that does adult easter egg hunts? My mother passed away on March 16th this year and she wanted to do an easter egg hunt for adults since in Missouri that past 2 years she participated. Our family would love to continue on this tradition, just wondering if Minnesota has one??
Makes ya think
You are so right, Leo! Egg hunts would aid in cognitive development of children in the same way scavenger hunts do. But also they are just fun and usually come with candy.
