The Milwaukee County Zoo's Egg Day is scheduled for April 19th, featuring an exciting Easter egg hunt, a parade starring adorable bunnies, and a unique bingo card adventure that promises to engage kids and adults alike. With activities running from 9:30 AM to 3 PM, there's ample time for families to get involved in the fun. The day is included with general zoo admission, making it accessible to all.

In addition to Egg Day, Easter weekend in Milwaukee also boasts various events catered to families. For instance, the Discovery World will host a Spring Fling Egg Hunt, where children can explore the aquarium while searching for hidden eggs. It's a fantastic way to combine learning with festive enjoyment.

The Harley-Davidson Museum joins the fun by hosting a family-friendly biker bash. On Sunday, this event will feature over 4,000 eggs hidden outdoors for a massive egg hunt, complemented by Easter brunch at the Motor Bar and Restaurant. Unique to this bash is the Airplane Egg Drop, where 20,000 eggs are literally dropped from the sky at Grafton High School, creating a whimsical experience for children and families.

Meanwhile, if you're looking for some cinematic fun, Marcus Theatres is presenting its Easter tradition with the film "The Wild Robot" alongside the classic "Hop!" This offers another delightful option for families to unwind after a day filled with activities.

As we celebrate these vibrant community gatherings, it's important to reflect on the connections we build through such events. They not only bring joy but also create lasting memories that families cherish year after year. What are your favorite Easter traditions or activities in Milwaukee?
