The Best Things to Do this Easter Weekend

Easter is upon us, and Houston has all kinds of events!

 

Easter egg hunt

Easter is a holy and vibrant celebration of renewal for those who observe it. For those who don’t, but still look forward to the holiday, Easter means brunches and Easter egg hunts for kids, usually starring a certain bunny.
This year has plenty of fun for kids looking for eggs — and adults looking for Easter kegs (read on) or getting their Easter yoga on. Here are your best bets for Easter weekend, from Kemah to Simonton to downtown.

 

Friday

Blessington Farms in Simonton will host a “Easter EGG-stravaganza” for two days. Pick your own strawberries and have a good time in Farm Funland, which has hayrides, barrel trains, giant slides, animal encounters, and much more. There will also be an Easter egg hunt where kids can look for eggs filled with candy and treats. 10:00 a.m.
The Woodlands Children’s Museum will host a two-day “EggTivites” event for children. Children will enjoy egg dying, making a bunny mask, and decorating egg carton baskets or a bunny box to transport eggs. There will also be photos with the Easter Bunny. 10:00 a.m.

Kemah Boardwalk in Kemah will host a three-day Easter Weekend complete with an egg hunt, an Easter egg/cookie-decorating workshop, performers, and the Easter Bunny. On Sunday morning, there will be a special sunrise service at 7:30 am. Noon.

A massive egg hunt and a relaxing family picnic will be held at Richmond’s George Ranch Historical Park. Bring a blanket and your own lunch to enjoy a picnic under a 150-year-old oak tree, or stake your claim at a picnic table near the Line Camp or Ranch House. There will be plenty of eggs and historical fun to be had. 9:00 a.m.

The Lone Star Flight Museum will welcome little aviators to join their age group and hunt for Easter eggs around the aircraft. There will be golden eggs containing special prizes such as museum memberships or a gift from the gift shop. 9:00 a.m.

7 Acre Wood is looking for people who want to spend an egg-cellent Saturday with some barnyard buddies. Go on an egg hunt, play in a Western town, zip down a zip line, putt your way through mini-golf, take pictures with the Easter Bunny, and more. 10:00 a.m.
