Egg-citing Easter

Looking for a fun place to hunt Easter eggs? During Easter weekend, March 26 & 27, there are 15 Kentucky state parks with planned activities, some one-day only and others with activities on both days. Last year, Kentucky state parks hid more than 13,000 Easter eggs.

In addition to Easter egg hunts, activities include visits and/or photos with the Easter Bunny, egg coloring, arts and crafts, a variety of games, Easter buffet, and Easter services. Not all activities are available at each park, so you should contact each park for specific information, date, and time.
