Travel to 8 of the Best Easter Extravaganzas


Although often not named as such, Easter can be situated right alongside Thanksgiving and Christmas as one of the must-travel holidays for families. All it takes is finding some cheap airfare and you could take part in one of the world's best Easter festivities.

Central Park Egg Hunt Extravaganza

Until you've scoured 40 acres of New York's 834-acre Central Park for the perfect egg, you haven't truly lived the egg hunt experience. The event is free and includes an egg roll race and a bunny petting zoo. Fortunately it's pretty easy to nail down cheap flights to New York year round if you play your cards right, so you don't have to miss out on this exceptional experience.

Miami Seaquarium Easter Egg Hunt

Score some cheap flights to Miami for Easter and be prepared for one of the less-traditional egg hunts. More like a carnival, the Seaquarium sets up a 5-acre Bunnypalooza every year, complete with rides, music, and face painting. And don't miss the Easter Bunny arrival ceremony.

Hayes Easter Egg Roll

You can pack some U.S. history into your Easter festivities this year in Ohio. President Rutherford B. Hayes started the White House egg hunt while in office, and his traditional is carried out every year at the historic Hayes home in Freemont, Ohio. Pack your history book for the flights and you'll be well-versed to be the family historian for your trip.
