Bring your phone along to join in on the virtual egg hunt by searching for QR codes around the zoo and scan the codes to enter to win a prize!

Homestead Market Easter Eggstravaganza Market & Egg Hunt | homesteadmarketalberta.com
Saturday, April 16
Mark your calendars for a fun-filled weekend at Homestead Market, located in Rocky View County. The whole family (even pups!) are invited to visit the market, where there will be over 25 vendors and artisans, and Doggie Playtime, sponsored by Tiarific Canine. In addition to a visit to the market, you won’t want to miss one of the two egg hunts being offered. For kids 7 and up, there’s a scavenger hunt-style hunt with challenging clues leading to the eggs. For younger kids, clues will be a bit easier. Timed tickets are required for the Egg Hunt. They can be purchased for $7 in advance, or $10 for walk up tickets (with limited availability). Parents and children under 2 are free. Each child will receive chocolate eggs as well as entry into a draw for an Easter Basket Prize Package for participating.

Norquay’s Easter Egg Hunt | banffnorquay.com
Sunday, April 17
The Easter Bunny may prefer warm weather and green grass, but that doesn’t mean he won’t hide a few eggs in the snow!

The hunt starts at 10 am sharp, and although there will be thousands of eggs to find, you won’t want to be late! For more information, e-mail [email protected] or call 403-762-7721.
