All Weekend

Spring Fun Days & Easter Egg Hunt (Chester, NJ)
Alstede Farms (a Mommy Poppins favorite!) is bursting with family fun all year round and Easter is no exception. Take a hay wagon ride to see baby animals, meet the Easter Bunny and go on an egg hunt. And if that wasn’t enough, you can saddle up for a pony ride, climb on the giant hay pyramid or scarf down some delicious pie from the farm store.

Bunny Chase (Princeton, NJ)
Celebrate the arrival of spring at Terhune Orchards' Bunny Chase on Easter weekend.  Follow the treasure hunt clues and find a spring surprise at the end of the hunt! A farm food tent will be filled with tasty treats and the wine tasting room will be open for grownups too!

Sesame Street Live! “Can’t Stop Singing” (New Brunswick, NJ)
Celebrate the holiday weekend with a lively show at the State Theatre of NJ about everyone’s favorite monsters. When Elmo casts a spell with Abby Cadabby’s magic wand, there’s something in the air - and Sesame Street becomes an all-singing, all-dancing musical montage! Children will learn all about the power of music during this interactive, energetic performance.
