Maryknoll Park will be chock full of plastic eggs Friday, April 14 when the Glen Ellyn Park District presents its annual Eggs-trodinary Egg Hunt.

Children age 6 and younger will scour the grounds for the colorful eggs stuffed with candy and prizes. Special eggs will be redeemable for prize baskets. Registered children should come prepared with their own baskets to collect eggs. There are two egg hunt times scheduled. The 11am hunt is full but a few spots remain open for the 9:30am hunt.

All children must be accompanied by an adult, but only children need to register. All participants are asked to check-in with the egg hunt staff before the event.

This year’s Eggs-trodinary Egg Hunt is sponsored, in part, by Medulla LLC/Chiro One and Holes & Knolls Miniature Golf Course.

The egg hunt will feature a special guest – the Easter Bunny. Children can meet the bunny and get their pictures taken with the holiday hare. Remember to dress for the weather. The outdoor egg hunt will go on rain, snow or shine.

For older egg-hunters who like more of a challenge, the park district presents the Flashlight Egg Hunt from 8:30 to 9 p.m. Thursday, April 13 at Churchill Park, adjacent to Churchill School. This hunt is for kids ages 7 through 10.

Children should bring baskets and flashlights and dress for the weather. The fee is $6 for residents and $9 for non-residents.
