You could hit up a chocolate shop or a candy store, pop open some plastic eggs and hide them around the house—but we think it’s much more fun to go on an Easter egg hunt elsewhere. Before you begin your holiday brunch, take the little ones to one of these Easter egg hunts, including a Downtown Los Angeles family festival and a scavenger hunt by the beach.

Take part in an afternoon of free kids entertainment and Easter egg hunts at Pershing Square, starting with a hunt for those under 4 at 12:30pm. Since it’s a city-produced event, you’ll be able to pose for photos with the non-donominational “Spring Bunny”—but we’ve heard he’s close friends with the Easter Bunny.

Disneyland presents a twist on traditional Easter egg hunts with the monthlong scavenger hunt throughout its two theme parks and Downtown Disney. Dozens off Disney-themed “eggs” have been hidden throughout the park; you can record your discoveries by marking them with a sticker on a limited-time map—return it all filled out and you can pick up a special surprise. Maps and stickers can be purchased for $6.99 (plus tax) at locations throughout the park.

Celebrate a laidback Easter on the waterfront at the Easter Hoppening in Malibu Bluffs Park. This all-inclusive event offers fun for the entire family, with different egg hunts every 20 minutes for specific age ranges. The searches are free if you donate a box of crayons; just bring a basket—and a camera. After unearthing your loot, enjoy some of the other activities; arts and crafts, food trucks, photos with the Easter Bunny and cartooning for kids will be on offer, plus bounce houses and face painting (for a small fee).
