It’s time for a round-up of the best Easter Egg Hunts in Wichita, Kansas!
Every year, literally thousands of families search for Easter egg hunts in the Wichita area. And that’s because in Kansas, we don’t just have egg hunts – we do it up right with activities for every member of the family.
Many of these are free events; some charge a nominal fee. All are egg-cellent fun.
This year, Easter is on Sunday, April 9, 2023 but many of these Easter events will be happening before that. Grab your own basket, your camera, and your kiddos before you head out the door.
These will be fun and family-friendly spring events. Don’t forget to spread the word to your friends.
This is a growing list, so please keep checking back.
Please follow the links all the way to each venue’s website or Facebook page to check for cancellations or changes!
