Troy, Michigan – This Spring, hop on over to the Troy Historic Village for some ‘egg’stra special fun. The Village is inviting families to their annual Village Egg Hunt Friday April 8th from 4:00-7:00pm and Saturday April 9th from 10:00am-3:00pm.
“This will be a fun, laid back Egg Hunt” says Youth Programs Director Alex Konieczny. “This won’t be a big, mad dash with a bunch of kids fighting over eggs. Families will be able to take their time and enjoy exploring around the Village while stopping off to play games and make a fun craft. And the eggs will stay here, so parents don’t have to worry about what to do with a basketful of eggs.”
Guests will enjoy a variety of Spring activities like
an egg-and-spoon race, and lawn-sized Kerplunk. Children are invited to make a bunny
mask craft to take home as well as collect giant buttons to trade in for some
sweet loot. Kids can test their skills with the ever popular Hop-stacle course
and Carrot Toss, and of course there will be eggs hidden around the Village for
kids to find.
“Similar to last year’s Halloween, Christmas and Egg Hunt programs, we’re offering timed entry and holding the event on multiple dates to make sure there’s plenty of space between groups,” says Village Executive Director Jen Peters. “Last year taught us that we can still hold really fun community events like Egg Hunt in a way that is safe for families.”
Village Egg Hunt will be held rain or shine. The
event features free onsite parking at the Village, as well as free overflow
parking at Brookfield Academy just a short walk down the street. For discounted
event pricing, guests may purchase their Egg Hunt admission by midnight on
Thursday, April 7 at https://www.troyhistoricvillage.org/programs/village-egg-hunt. Advance price is $7 for Troy
Historical Society Members and $8 for Non-Members. Tickets will also be
available at the door on a first-come, first-served basis ($8 for Troy
Historical Society Members and $9 for Non-Members). All children under 2 are
admitted free. Egg Hunt treats are provided courtesy of Troy Historical Society
volunteers.
