2023 Charity Easter Egg Hunt at Joslin Garden
Sat Apr 8, 10:00 AM - Sat Apr 8, 11:00 AM

This year, on April 8th, the Saturday before Easter, children, are invited to bring their Easter baskets to hunt for eggs and to find hidden “rabbits” while parents visit beautiful Joslin Garden.

Younger children (six and under) will hunt for eggs in the patio and formal garden areas in a traditional easter egg hunt at 10:00 AM.

Older children (six to ten) will go on a larger scavenger hunt along the forest trails of the garden, looking for rabbits hidden along the trails at 10:30AM.

This year tickets for the Easter Egg Hunt will include a $10 donation to help children in local Raleigh homeless shelters to attend a week of summer camp through Raleigh’s Parks, Recreation & Cultural Resources and the City of Oaks Foundation’s Give Play Program.

Tickets are limited and all participants (children, not adults) must have a ticket in order to participate. This event has sold out each year it has been held. Donations made to this charitable cause are not refundable. Children will receive candy or toys in the hidden eggs.

The events will start promptly at 10:00 and 10:30 so please do not be late or your child may miss the hunt.

FAQs

Where do we go?

Please park on the street on West Lake Drive, and head toward the welcome table at the top of the driveway. Please do not enter the property via the trail on Gaddy Drive, or any other garden paths or your children will stumble across the eggs before the hunt begins.
