Green Meadow Farms gives you a whole weekend to catch their Easter activities at Aviator Sports and Events Center (3159 Flatbush Ave). Between March 25 and 27, the urban farm will host Easter egg hunts, photos with Whiskers the Bunny, hayrides, their giant hay wagon slide, and more. Admission is $8 per person.

Head to Greenpoint for the 5th Annual McGolrick Park Egg Hunt – scheduled for Saturday, March 26, from 12 to 2 pm. Starting at noon, hunts will be organized for groups of ten kids at a time, and will run through 2 pm (or until the eggs run out). Also, look for arts and crafts, face painting, and an appearance from the Easter Bunny. In order to secure a spot, it’s recommended that you purchase your tickets ($15 per child) online. Tickets will be available on the day of the event from $20, but in addition to paying more, you’ll run the risk of the popular hunt selling out. All proceeds benefit Brooklyn Boy Scout Troop 26.

Rainy day? No problem! The event will move to St. John’s Lutheran Church (155 Milton Street), and take place from 2 to 4 pm.

The forecast is actually looking mighty fine for Easter weekend, and Prospect Park is at the ready with lots of outdoor family activities. Whether you’re learning all about winter survival strategies of animals or laughing at Dad as he tries to walk on stilts at Lefferts House, there’s a little something for everyone. Note that all activities are free, with the exception of Lefferts House which suggests a $3 donation.

If you’re not feeling the egg hunt vibe this year, shake things up with a trip to the Brooklyn Children’s Museum (145 Brooklyn Avenue). On Saturday and Sunday (March 26 and 27), kids will have an opportunity to learn about Easter and its traditions, make egg prints, and even use science to create paint from eggs. All activities are included with admission ($11 per person).
