Easter Egg Hunt at Seawolf Park
Ask any child what their favorite part of Easter is, and you will always hear “Easter egg hunt.” This activity lets a child have an enjoyable activity with other peers.

That day will fall on March 30th this year for a momentous occasion. The egg hunt starts at 9:00 AM and lasts all the way up to 1:00 PM. It is a free community event where everyone is welcome to join in on the fun. The age range for the hunt is from 0 to 12 years so all the kids can have a blast.
