Tips for Happy Egg Hunting
Arrive early to get the lay of the land and get your hunters ready. Most hunts have set times and locations for different ages, so having time to organize your hunters is helpful. Be prepared with baskets to gather treasures and cameras to capture all the action. Remember that egg hunts usually operate rain or shine, so weather-appropriate gear will keep hunters warm and dry. Plan a little extra time, as many hunts offer other fun activities to check out before or after the hunting concludes.
Hop into spring and enjoy some family-friendly fun in Snohomish County. Finding brightly colored eggs filled with sweets is the perfect way to celebrate spring. Create family memories with some competitive fun and a possible Easter Bunny sighting. Happy hunting!
