Starting in the spring, Clark’s Elioak Farm in Clarksville holds special event days that are really super fun for kids, especially younger kids (although older kids won’t be able to resist the animals and the Instagram-worthy Enchanted Forest). Clark’s Elioak Farm is not overwhelming for little kids and they split the Easter Egg hunts up by age. 

In 2024 they are having Spring Egg Hunts Saturday and Sunday March 23-24 and March 30-31. On weekdays (March 25-29) the hunts will be at 10:30, 11:30, 12:30, 2:30 and 3:30.

We love this place and have reviewed it extensively here.

FAQ

What are fun Easter events?

There are so many fun Easter-themed activities you can do with your kids. Dye eggs, or even paint eggs. You can do a bunny or chick themed craft. Visit a petting farm and hold baby animals. Check out your local area (including churches and libraries) for Easter Egg Hunts or Easter Bunny breakfast events.

What is Easter explained to a child?

Easter is Christian holiday that celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ. However, many people don’t celebrate Easter as a religious holiday. Instead they focus on the Easter bunny (which has no connection to Jesus) and the arrival of Spring!

What can a family do on Easter?

The easy answer is to decorate eggs and then an Easter egg hunt around your house or neighborhood. A lot of people like to have a big Easter brunch or dinner and spend time with family. But really there is no right or wrong way to celebrate Easter. You could attend an Easter church service, go on a hike, visit a zoo or other local attraction. Or, you could just stay home and play games with your family!

What can you put in your Easter eggs and Easter basket besides candy or money?

Here are some ideas: slime or silly putty, art supplies, water bottle stickers, fidgets, fancy erasers, pop-its, finger puppets, small stuffies, small toys, lip gloss and nail polish, jewerly and accessories, and tickets to a special event.
