Egg Hunt with a Splash - sign up by Mar 27 (details)Apr 3
Sign up by March 27 for the Urbana Park District’s Egg Hunt with a Splash—the only egg hunt in the water! The event takes place beginning at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday, April 3 at the Urbana Indoor Aquatic Center, 102 E. Michigan, Urbana.
Don’t be afraid to get wet as you search for treasure filled sunken eggs. Everyone will receive a goodie bag, and a lucky few will have the chance at winning much larger prizes! When they are not hunting, kids can participate in the other games and contests that will be held upstairs on the mezzanine level.
This event is for everyone ages 2-13. The fee is $6 for residents and $12 for non-residents and includes admissions to the Egg Hunt plus one daily admission pass to the Urbana Indoor Aquatic Center. Participants must re-enter during public hours to swim. Please be sure to show up on time because the egg hunts go quickly and if you are late you are going to miss out on your chance to hunt. Refunds are not given for tardiness. Please note the different hunt times for each age group. Be sure to bring a plastic bag for collecting your eggs. Register by calling 367-1544.
