The New Britain Youth Museum is holding Easter events for kids, both in downtown New Britain and at Hungerford Park.

The Youth Museum will hold an Easter Party on Thursday, April 18, 2019 at its downtown location. The Museum is located at 30 High Street, behind the New Britain Public Library.

“We will be celebrating with a bake sale, Easter egg dying, basket making, bunny & chick crafts, pin the tail on the bunny, and more!,” says the Museum.

The April 18th event will be held from 12:30pm to 2:30pm. The cost is $2 per person, with children three and under and members of the Museum admitted free.

Then, on Saturday, April 20th, the New Britain Youth Museum at Hungerford Park will hold its “Easter Eggstravaganza” event.

The Eggstravaganza will feature two Easter egg hunts, one from 10:00am to 11:30am and the other from 2:00pm to 3:30pm.

The Museum say that,

The number of eggs collected by each child will be limited. Bring your bag / basket to collect eggs.

Each child will receive a goody bag at the end of the hunt.

After the egg hunt, come back to the museum to meet our animals, play in the bear cave, visit our indoor aviary, purchase a snack at the bake sale, play outside, and do a craft.

The fees for the Eggstravaganza event are $5 for Museum members and $8 per participating child for non-members.

The event is for children up to twelve years of age.
