Ahh...Easter is fast approaching, in just a little more than a week! For kids, it's all about egg hunting, cute bunny drawings and egg-shaped chocolate. Remember those times in grade school when we made and colored our own easter baskets and filled them up with plastic pink, yellow, blue, or green grass? Seems like only yesterday it happened.
Believe it or not, there is an Easter Parade! Actually, they call it the "Easter Bonnet Festival", but we all know it's simply an Easter Parade, right? While those pre-Easter activities at Central Park doesn't seem to be happening for the second year in a row, there are still other fun Easter activities around! After all, we live in a big city, so why does it seem like no egg hunting at Central Park is the end of the world?
For one, Central Park has been the epitome of egg hunting and Easter-related games and arts and crafts for a very long time now, so I can understand how disappointing it might be for some people who have been going to Central Park for their Easter activities for years. Too bad we have been sucked in a recession and New York State has laid off many park workers, hence spending a bit more for such activities would kill them.
Alternatively, Brooklyn Botanic Garden has always been a favorite among my family members, and is a great place to take your kids. If I remember correctly, they do offer Easter activities for children. Even so, nature is always beautiful to look at.
