Tips for the Easter weekend

Sunday, April 20 and Monday, April 21 is Easter again! Maybe you celebrate these days with family, maybe you want to get away or you are looking for a fun outing. We have tips for a successful Easter weekend for the whole family!

Celebrating Easter with family

Is family coming to visit during Easter? Then it’s fun to serve them some delicious food. For the Easter brunch, we have collected all nice (and easy) recipes for you. You can find these recipes in this blog. Of course you can also take the whole family out for an Easter brunch. Tips for nice locations can be found in this blog. But there is much more to do this Easter!

Turn your Easter weekend into a family weekend by going to Fun Village in Rotterdam. The various activities are suitable for all family members from 18 years and older, so especially fun for families without small children.

Is the weather nice? Then go out with the family in a fun city! With Walk the City’ s walking app, you can easily download the best city walks that you can do right away. Super fun during the Easter weekend! And do you want to walk but can it be exciting? Then a dark city walk from The Little Walk of Horrors is highly recommended! These walks are suitable for everyone aged 12 and older.

Many cities have indoor markets or fairs during the Easter weekend with stalls full of treats, handmade products and Easter decorations. Also great fun to visit.

Celebrating Easter with the kids

Easter is all about searching (and finding!) Easter eggs. You can of course hide Easter eggs in and around the house yourself, but you can also make it more exciting. With a GPS tour, for example!

For an exciting outing go to Adventure City in Rotterdam. Children as young as 4 can already challenge themselves here! A visit to this climbing park makes the Easter weekend truly unforgettable.

Also fun: Easter Egg Golf at Outdoorpark SEC in Almere. A super fun outing for the whole family! At Geofort, you can always be sleuthing, even if it’s not Easter. A visit to this exciting fortress island is always fun!

For families with young children, the renovated Miffy Museum in Utrecht is highly recommended. The museum offers a colorful and interactive environment where toddlers and preschoolers can explore the world of Miffy.

Grapevine has an egg hunt scavenger hunt for children ages 11 and up. But they also have a fun Easter mystery for children as young as 4 to play. Castle de Haar in Haarzuilens organizes an exciting Easter egg hunt in the castle gardens during the Easter weekend. Children can search for the golden egg and enjoy the beautiful surroundings of the castle.

Celebrate Easter with the animals

At Schaapskudde Vockestaert in Midden-Delfland, April 21 is Lamb Day! Fun to then in the Easter weekend! Or how about celebrating Easter among wild animals? That is possible at Beekse Bergen. You then immediately make a whole weekend away from it. And also on the island of Texel there are all kinds of fun things to do during the Easter weekend. For example, the Easter bunny has hidden eggs and you can go along with the shepherd. And for really big eggs you should join the Easter tour of the ostrich farm Monnikenwerve in Sluis this year.

Celebrating Easter in bad weather

Is it raining during the Easter weekend? Then challenge the family with an exciting game! Or make a puzzle together. The Royal Jumbo has games for everyone and for every moment: from board games to escape games: Jumbo has it all! In any case, you won’t be bored during the Easter weekend.

You can also cozy up at home with an Easter movie marathon. Choose family-friendly movies like Hop, Peter Rabbit, or classic Disney films. Set out hot chocolate and Easter treats to complete the atmosphere.

Still want to get out the door? Many places offer Easter workshops, such as egg painting, candle making or flower arranging. Check local cultural centers or hobby stores for special Easter workshops where you can get involved with the family.

Happy Easter!
