Your 2018 Westchester Egg Hunt Guide
/It's that time of year again! Time to send the kids out on the lawn to race around for brightly colored garbage! I kid. Egg hunts are a great way to welcome spring, and Westchester County has tons of them.
We've compiled a list of all the ones we know about, with a few extras like special breakfasts and where to get your picture taken with the Easter Bunny. Read on for our guide, and remember to confirm dates, times, and locations before you head out. Most of these egg hunts start right at the time listed, so plan to get there early to make time for parking and getting to your place on the lawn.
With Easter being so early this year, most of the hunts are on the same Saturday, so there's less opportunity to hop around the towns.
