Hippity hop on over to the St. Pete Pier and enjoy a perfect spring day celebrating Easter with the inaugural Easter Egg Hunt at the Pier’s Family Park.

Search for more than 5,000 colorful eggs hidden throughout Family Park. Among the hidden eggs lie 12 golden eggs filled with different prizes including a $100 gift card to Astro Craft Ice Cream, a free membership to the St. Pete Museum of History Family, a gift basket courtesy of Doc Ford’s and goodies from Teak! Furthermore, the Tampa Bay Watch Discovery Center will hide 12 eco-friendly paper eggs filled with unique prizes.

Families will enjoy meet-and-greet and photo opportunities with the Easter bunny along with vendors such as Hyppo Gourmet Popsicles and Glitters & Giggles for face painting, balloon arts and more.

Participants are encouraged to bring their own baskets/bags. For those that can’t wait to dig into their eggs, specially marked bins will be available throughout Family Park for visitors to dispose of the unwanted “egg shells” which will be reused and recycled.

This free event is open to kids ages 10 and under. The egg hunt will begin promptly at 1:00 p.m.
