By Rachael Benion, publisher, Macaroni KID Harrisburg and West Shore March 7, 2025

Spring is in the air, and you know what that means—it’s time for the first-ever AMAZING Easter Egg Hunt hosted by Macaroni KID Harrisburg! Get ready for egg-citement, prizes, candy, and a whole lot of hopping fun at Amazing Sports & Activity Program on Jonestown Road. Whether your kids are expert egg hunters or just in it for the bunny high-fives, this is the Easter event you won’t want to miss!

Who Can Join the Fun?

This FREE community event is open to all families, but registration is required to secure your child’s special FREE Bagsket (that’s a bag + basket for those new to our egg-ceptional wordplay) courtesy of Reach Cyber Charter School!

Egg Hunts for Every Bunny!

We’ve designed different hunts to ensure every child gets the best experience possible: ✅ Preschool Egg Hunt (Ages 3-5) – A gentle, joyful hunt where little ones can grab eggs without worrying about big kids zooming past. ✅ School-Age Egg Hunt (Ages 6-12) – For the ultra-competitive kiddos who take egg hunting very seriously. Ready, set, scramble! ✅ Egg-ceptional Hunt (For Kids with Extra Needs) – A specially designed space with larger, brighter eggs, eggs placed on surfaces, and buddies available to help.

👶 Tiny humans under 3 are welcome to join the fun, but for safety reasons, treat-filled eggs are NOT toddler-friendly. Don’t worry, though—they can still collect empty eggs, enjoy our soft play area, and of course, meet the Easter Bunny!
