Hi, I checked the archives for this and found them to be a little dated. My daughter will be almost 2 by the time Easter rolls around. I would love to take her to an Easter egg hunt. We are not religious - just enjoy the fun of the Easter bunny, egg hunts, etc. I read a little bit about the Albany Spring Fair which sounds promising. I just wanted to know if there were any other hunts that went on appropriate for toddlers in the East Bay, specifically between the Berkely / Oakland side of the Caldecott tunnel? Thanks! Cathy
Is there a local place where my son can participate in an Easter Egg hunt? We live in North Oakland. Thanks. mommy

I wanted to let everyone know about a fabulous Easter Egg Hunt here on the Berkeley campus. It is called the Eggster Hunt and Learning Festival. They have egg hunts set up all day for all age groups. They also have booths and learning activities and displays. The hunt is Saturday, April 3. 10am-4pm at West Circle just off University Avenue.
This is in reply to the women looking for an egg hunt for her toddler. The 5th Annual Eggster Hunt and Learning Festival is taking place this weekend at the University. It is from 10am -2 pm on the Strawberry Creek Lawn in front of the Valley Life Sciences Building off of Oxford Street. It is free for all children and I am taking my 5 y/o daughter for the first time this year. I have friends that have gone for the last couple of years and they say it's great. It is put on by the Alumni Scholars Club and the California Alumni Association. Not only is there egg hunts but also learning booths, arts and crafts, games and entertainment. They even have special toddler egg hunt just for the little ones. See you there!!
Montclair Park has one. Low-key. Attention given to the little ones getting some eggs. I don't know the time. Call Montclair Rec Center. Get there on time, as it starts at a bell, and there isn't much left after that.
UC Berkeley Sororities and Fraternities usually put on a great Easter Egg Hunt/Activity Day, called Eggster, on campus. It is open to the public, and is free, although they request donations because it is a fund-raiser for children's organizations. We had attended for 2 of the past 3 years, and my son has had a great time. They have separate egg hunts for the 3 and under and the over 3's, and egg hunts are run every 30 min. or so. They also have many other activities - face-painting, crafts, games, etc. The only problem - I haven't seen it advertised yet this year, so I don't know when it will be. Otherwise, there is a nice hunt in Montclair park, but it can be very busy. The children's parade on Lakeshore Ave. is also fun (get an Easter bonnet to decorate at any Lakeshore merchant.
