Easter EGGstravaganza at Centreville Amusement Park

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.
