Egg Hunt at The Flagler Museum

The Flagler Museum will host its annual Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday, April 19, 2025. Gates will open at 9:00 am and the Easter Egg Hunt will begin at 10:00 am. The event always sells out in advance with about 1,000 visitors attending each year. Be sure to buy your Easter Egg Hunt tickets early by visiting the Museum’s website at www.FlaglerMuseum.us.

The Flagler Museum’s Easter Egg Hunt began in 2006 and was introduced to continue the Gilded Age tradition of the event that began on the South Lawn of the White House when President Rutherford B. Hayes welcomed children to the first White House Easter Egg Roll in 1878. As at the White House, families will receive a souvenir wooden Easter Egg to commemorate the event.

Children of all ages are invited to hunt for more than 7,000 eggs on the Museum’s lawn and in the beautiful Cocoanut Grove. Museum gates open at 9:00 a.m., when children can enjoy a visit by the Easter Bunny, engage in Easter-themed craft projects, have their face painted, receive a balloon sculpture, and play the Bean Bag Toss game before the egg hunts begin. The traditional Easter Egg Hunts will feature treat-filled eggs “hidden” on the Museum’s lawn and in the Cocoanut Grove, and areas will be sectioned-off by age group so that all children, including toddlers, have the opportunity to participate safely. The Easter Egg Hunt for children up to age 4 will start at 10 am on the front lawn. A separate Easter Egg Hunt for children ages 5 and older will start in the Cocoanut Grove at approximately 10:20 am. Bring your cameras to capture memories!
