1. Do an Easter Egg Hunt & Take Pictures with the Bunny!

We've rounded up ALL the local egg hunts, free photos with the Easter bunny, arts & crafts, storytimes, bunny brunches, and more in an easy to navigate local Easter fun guide! But some notable events this weekend are the Easter Egg Hunt at My Gym Wheaton so you can search for eggs and get some fun indoor playtime, the Front Street Egg Hunt & Community Bash, snap your picture in the Glen Ellyn Bunny Hut before going on a Bunny Trail Scavenger Hunt, or see an Easter horse at Danada Equestrian Center.

2. Train Saturdays at DuPage County Historical Museum

The HO Scale Model Train is operated by the DuPage Society of Model Engineers and is open on select Saturdays. The detailed layout covers more than 2,000 feet of track and highlights some of DuPage County’s railroads and landmarks in a landscape full of surprises. See if you can spot Superman and the Batmobile! 

Saturday April 19, 1:30 pm - 3:30 pm

3. Earth Day Celebration at Lincoln Marsh

Families are invited to spend time together at the Prairie Patch Play Area for this Earth Day themed play date where children can create, discover and play with nature. Enjoy activities, crafts and open play!

4. Circus Vazquez at Yorktown Center

Circus Vazquez showcases international circus superstars. Prepare to be amazed by acrobats pushing the limits of physics, aerialists soaring high above, and side-splitting laughter from outrageous clowns. Enjoy live music that fills the air and dancers that keep the groove alive.

April 18th - 28th showtimes vary by day
