Easter falls later this year on Sunday, April 16, 2017, which gives the weather some time to warm up! Most people will enjoy a three-day weekend while some will have a four-day long weekend. Here are some of our favourite things to do Easter weekend in Toronto 2017.
Easter EGGstravaganza at Centreville Amusement Park
Centreville Amusement Park and Far Enough Farm host Easter EGGstravaganza, presented by the Lindt Gold Bunny on Easter weekend on Friday April 14, 2017, Saturday April 15, 2017 and Sunday, April 16, 2017 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Kids can get their faces painted, feed some farm animals at Far Enough Farm and participate in an Easter Egg Hunt by collecting coloured eggs hidden throughout Centreville and Far Enough Farm. Kids can redeem eggs for prizes from Lindt, Play-Doh, Dare Foods, Quaker Oats, and Kerrs Candy. Purchase and customize baskets at the Basket Decorating Station with a donation to Cystic Fibrosis Canada. A second Easter hunt – The Lindt “Gold Bunny” Scramble – starts at 11:30 a.m. with scrambles every half hour. Some of the rides at Centreville will be operating.
Centreville Season Passes cannot be used for this event as this is a pre-season event. Each person requires an admission ticket for this event. If you pre-purchase tickets online, you’ll receive a free Ferry ride to the island. Tickets will be available at the Gate for $15 per person.
Toronto Zoo’s Connecting With Wildlife Conservation
Kids and adults will have the opportunity to Jump into Spring on the Easter weekend at the Gorilla, Americas Pavilion, and Indo-Malaya Pavilion Interpretive Stations and connect with wildlife conservation by visiting the zoo’s interactive interpretive stations. Learn how the Toronto Zoo is working to save and protect animals from around the world. Don’t forget to visit our zoo babies including giant panda cubs Jia Panpan and Jia Yueyue and rhino Nandu. Program runs Friday, April 14, 2017 to Monday, April 17, 2017 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
