Online registration is now closed. Families may pay at the door, but please plan to arrive as early as possible to ensure enough time.
Bring a basket for the egg hunts which will take place in the Gardens. Once found, the hard-boiled eggs can be taken to the Stableyards to be dyed. Additionally, children play colonial games, participate in the Egg Roll and Egg Toss, hear classic stories and make Easter crafts.
Ceramic prize eggs, hand-made by the Middleton Place Resident Potter, will be hidden among the undyed natural eggs. Each child may present ONE prize egg at the Prize Table to receive a prize. One Grand Prize egg will be hidden in each egg hunt. Children who find Grand Prize eggs will be entered into a drawing for an annual Family Membership. Winners of Egg Tosses and Rolls will also receive a certificate for a prize.
Easter Eggstravaganza is included with General Admission/free for Members, however reservations are required.
