Easter egg hunting has never been easier or more fun with events all over the city and in the Hunter Valley to keep your family busy on the April long weekend. Start hunting!

The Australian Museum Egg-stravaganza
Sat 15 and Sun 16 April, 10am-2pm
Cost: $23-30 for one child and one adult (plus booking fee)

For a fun filled day that lets kids become explorers, the Australian Museum is a great place to go. Kids will be given a trail map to hunt for chocolate bilbies among the museum galleries. They will also have a chance to meet the real Easter bilby and learn about egg-laying animals. It is estimated the trail takes 20 minutes and is recommended for kids aged 4 - 12.

While you're there, take a look at the displays including the new Spiders - Alive and Deadly exhibit where you can enter a spider dome and Surviving Australia which showcases the evolution of our most interesting animals such as the Tasmanian tiger!
