Eggstravaganza

Sunday, April 13, 2025

1 to 5 p.m. | Daffodil Hill

Bring the family to Eggstravaganza for an afternoon of seasonal fun! With activities designed for kids under 12, kick things off with an egg rolling competition (our eggs are made from mycelium), and stay for face painting and crafts. Kids can even learn all about how birds build their nests, and what they use to do it.

Be sure and join the meet and greet with Peppa Pig and her little brother George, and snap a photo to preserve the memory! With live music to sing along to, and light bites and drinks for purchase, it’s the perfect weekend outing to take in spring’s flowering beauty.

Tickets: $25 for Members | $39 for Non-Members

This event is rain or shine.
