Family-friendly events for Easter and Spring are offered in South Florida, especially drive-thru events and outdoor events. Often Easter Bunny — or Royal Bunny or Spring Bunny — is on site. There will still be Easter egg hunts, though some may be drive-throughs.
Events may include goody bags for youngsters. Some events require early registration, or are exclusively for residents of a specific town. Distancing & masks usually required. Happy Easter.
