Where will the Easter bunny be around KC this weekend? Here are egg hunts and more
Easter is just a hop away, and the Easter bunny has a lot of eggs to hide in Kansas City. If you have kids who are eager to go on the prowl for eggs, there are plenty of places available throughout the city.
Take a look at some Easter egg hunts and other themed activities for the family going on this weekend.
DOWNTOWN BUNNY HOP
Families can start lining up for the parade at 9:45 a.m. on Saturday in Lee’s Summit. The route starts at City Hall Plaza, and you’ll hop all the way to Howard Station Park.
The Easter bunny will also be available for photos until 11:30 a.m. Downtown businesses have candy on-hand to give to children, so bring your baskets to fill with as much candy as possible.
The event is free to attend.
