Join us on Saturday, April 16th from 10am-2pm for this FREE Easter event for the whole family! At noon, we will drop thousands of eggs from a helicopter—and then kids get to go crazy and collect the eggs that fell from the sky. This year, we will have a petting zoo, bounce houses, face painting, a sensory park, balloon animals, popcorn, snow cones, cotton candy, prizes & more! And it's all FREE!
