Here comes Peter Cottontail! Friends of Unicoi are making Easter “eggstra” special by organizing an annual Easter egg hunt and day of fun for kids of all ages. The event will take place at the scenic Unicoi State Park (a Helen attraction of its own). Children are divided by age group before they embark on a search for eggs and fun surprises. Parents have a blast watching the little ones scurry about looking for treats while taking in the spectacular sites of the gorgeous park on a Spring morning. When the hunt has come to an end, the fun continues. Take a nice hayride with your family and friends or assist your children as they get creative with organized arts and crafts.

Located just a short jaunt from downtown Helen, the zoo puts on an annual “eggstrodinary” springtime event in the Easter season. Expect the unexpected from this festive, seasonal Helen attraction. You and your little one can follow the bunny trail and visit the rabbit pen. You’ll get to touch and pet the fluffy critters as you learn all about the different types of bunny rabbits. Can you figure out which one is responsible for delivering Easter treats? When you’re finished visiting the bunnies, be sure to purchase an Easter basket and set off on a hunt for as many eggs as your basket can hold! As you search, you’ll come upon a wide variety of animals including newborn baby chicks! You may even decide to take a break and ride on the back of a donkey. The best part is that you get to redeem your full basket for a goody bag. Oh, and be sure to keep your eyes peeled for an animal-shaped egg to win an “egg-stra” special prize!
