The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, and everyone’s allergies are bothering them — Spring is officially here. That means that Easter is fast approaching as well. Maybe you usually go to church for Easter, or you host your family and have everyone over for dinner and games. Although these events are fun, perhaps you’re ready for a break this year, or you just want to try something new. Either way, if you feel like branching out this Easter, consider some of these local family-friendly Easter events found in the Las Vegas area.

Mt Charleston Brunch

Mt. Charleston, which is 30 minutes north of Las Vegas, is famous for its slopes, hiking, and colder weather. It’s a great place to bring family, which is why it’s a great place to visit for Easter. The Mt. Charleston Resort will have an Easter brunch from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. with lots of family activities, including meeting the Easter bunny and egg hunts. Their website suggests making reservations.

Hop & Shop

 Hop & Shop is centrally located, at Town Square Las Vegas just south of The Strip, and it’s an event to consider if you’re looking for something to do the Saturday before Easter. At Hop & Shop, kids up to 10-years-old can participate in the egg hunts for free. The egg hunt times vary depending on the child’s age, and the full list of times is listed on the event website.
