Batavia Park District Egg Hunts Kick Off the 2026 Spring Season

BATAVIA, IL – It’s egg hunting season! Get ready for laughs, prizes, and lots of eggs! The Batavia Park District is bringing back its favorite spring events, and families won’t want to miss the fun at Prairie Path Park.

Glow-in-the-dark adventure for middle schoolers

On March 27 at 7:45 p.m., kids ages 9-12 can join the exciting Flashlight Egg Hunt at Prairie Path Park. This is no ordinary hunt; kids will search for eggs in the dark using flashlights and glow sticks! A few eggs are special golden eggs with fun prizes inside.

Bring a flashlight and a bag for collecting eggs. The cost is $15, and spots fill up fast, so be sure to register ahead of time at bataviaparks.org/flashlight-egg-hunt.

“Our flashlight egg hunt is very popular,” said event chair Zach Mueller. “Kids love the challenge of hunting eggs in the dark. It’s always a race to see who finds the most, and who gets the golden eggs!”

Family Fun at the Community Egg Hunt

On March 28, families with younger kids can enjoy a free Community Egg Hunt at Prairie Path Park starting at 9:30 a.m. with a bounce house and visits and photos with the Bunny. The egg hunt begins right at 10 a.m., with age zones for ages 2, 3-4, and 5+. Don’t forget to bring a basket! After the hunt, stick around for photos with the Bunny and more bouncing fun.

“Families love this event,” Mueller said. “It’s a great way to kick off spring. Watching the joy on kids’ faces as they collect eggs makes it even better.”
