Easter Egg Hunt & Spring Arts Program 2026

Celebrate spring at Ten Broeck! Free family Spring/Easter egg hunt in the Ten Broeck Mansion gardens, with a pisanki (pysanky) egg art project and a traditional Central/Eastern European egg and basket-foods decorating demonstration.

In case of light drizzle the program will go on (please bring umbrellas and rain boots). The event will be cancelled in heavy rain; pre-registered participants will be notified via email.

Recommended ages: 3–12. Children ages 3–6 will have a separate area for collecting eggs.

- Children may bring their own Easter baskets; free decorated bags will also be provided.
- Free pisanki (pysanky) egg-themed art project for kids (weather permitting).
- Children only: adults may accompany their children but should not collect eggs so everyone has a chance.
