Easter

For Children

The place to be is the amusement park in City Park, where the Carousel Gardens and Storyland are located. Thousands of colored eggs are hidden around the area, and every kid is almost guaranteed to find at least one: 12 is the maximum. The most-highly-sought-after eggs are the golden ones with special prizes veiled inside. The event is recommended for 8 years and younger and there is a &#x;little kid&#x; area just for toddlers. The kids can also visit with the Easter Bunny and enjoy other types of entertainment.

For up-to-date information on this event, check out City Park's website.

Yet another Easter entertainment event for the kids (and their parents) is the annual Hoppin' Down the River with Bourgeois the Bunny. The move happens on board the paddlewheel steamboat Creole Queen on the Mississippi River, as it is transformed into an Easter wonderland. There are always fun things for the kids, like balloon sculpting, face painting, storytelling, and games. Bourgeois, The Cajun Easter Bunny is on
