The Great Easter Eggs-Pedition Family Fun Day
If you love the idea of an Easter activity that isn’t rushed and doesn’t revolve around lollies, this Family Fun Day at the Hervey Bay Botanic Gardens is a sweet one for the calendar. It’s set up as a relaxed, drop-in morning where families can wander in, join activities as they feel like it, and enjoy a bit of fresh air together. It’s also a nice way to kick off the Easter season with something that feels creative and community-minded, rather than “one more thing” to organise.
The Great Easter Eggs-Pedition Family Fun Day is being held at the Hervey Bay Botanic Gardens and is designed as the official launch for the Giant Easter Eggs-Pedition. Families can expect a mix of hands-on activities and simple, playful moments that kids tend to love especially when they can move between options rather than sit still for long periods. The event description highlights Easter-themed craft activities, selfie stations and themed photo moments, chalk play, and surprise elements inspired by the giant eggs along the trail. There’ll also be a petting zoo, face painting, rock painting, and outdoor games, plus an Easter bonnet parade for anyone keen to dress up.
It’s also the perfect time to start the self-paced Eggs-Pedition trail. Families can pick up their passport, follow the clues through the gardens, and begin discovering the 12 giant artist-designed Easter eggs scattered throughout the space. For many families, that “activity plus wander” combination is ideal kids feel like they’re on a mission, while adults get a chance to slow down and enjoy the gardens.
Days like this matter because they create easy connection. Kids get a reason to play, create and explore, and parents get a low-pressure outing where everyone can join in at their own pace. It’s free, it’s outdoors, and it’s built around shared time together which is often what we’re really chasing in the school holidays.
