An Easter egg hunt is the perfect way to celebrate the season. With Easter Sunday just a hop, skip, and a jump away, there are tons of Easter egg hunts on the horizon in NYC. We've got the scoop on these treat-filled Easter egg hunts in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, and the Bronx, including Mommy Poppins' own Easter egg hunt during Easter at the Seaport.

Most of these Easter egg hunts in NYC are outdoors in local playgrounds and parks, and a few even offer additional spring fun, like Easter Bunny photo-ops.

Find more ways to celebrate the season, including Easter Bunny brunches in our Spring Fun Guide for NYC Families.

Remember, Easter egg hunts in NYC are extremely popular and some have already sold out. The ones listed below all have space remaining as of publication. So, hop to it and book your tickets soon or plan to arrive early. If you dislike crowds, avoid the FREE Easter egg hunts and opt for those that carry a small fee as they usually cap the number of participants.

As always, be sure to click through to each listing for all the details, including recommended ages and time.
