Easter egg hunts are a fully fledged family affair. That’s why we’ve found some of the sweetest spots for your kids to hunt and for you to have fun. There’s a scavenger egg hunt at a bird sanctuary, heritage exhibition, and more, as well as ideas for the Easter long weekend. Which hunt are you joining?
SCAVENGER HUNT UNDER R100
For Intaka Island’s annual Easter hunt kids can search for clues and find eggs across the island, get an Easter-inspired face painting, and if you’re lucky enough to find him, grab a picture with Captain Feathers. There are four 60 minute slots and kids between ages 2 and 7 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Plus more Century City events to discover.
Date: Sunday, 5 April; 8am, 10am, 12pm, 2pm
Cost: R85 per child and R37 per adult, book via Quicket

HUNT THROUGH AN EXHIBITION FOR R20
This one-of-a-kind heritage site is something everyone should visit, especially over Easter, as they have a deal where a family of four only pays R120 for a guided tour. You can walk through the sculpture garden and learn about struggle heroes that have shaped South African history. Plus, if you visit on Sunday, kids can join a free egg hunt included with your R20 entry ticket.
Date: Friday, 3 April to Monday, 6 April; 10am to 4.30pm
Cost: R20 for entry, R75 for entry and a guided tour, R120 for a group of four (guided tour included); book via Webtickets

DIFFERENT TYPE OF HUNT
At Reforest Fest, a restoration and tree planting festival, kids hunt for little stones instead of chocolates. It’s aimed at teaching kids about fairness and how choices matter (they’ll receive fair trade chocolates at the end). It’s an annual family weekend taking place over Easter, and packed with a lineup including an incense making class, kids corner, laughter yoga, tree planting and more. See how we’ve unpacked Reforest Fest.
