Teens and tweens act like everything is lame, but we all know they secretly want to take part in the Easter fun, too. The super cool Electric Egg Hunt on Friday night, April 7 at Keller Pointe Recreation Center is just the ticket for even the most cynical teen. Kids ages 11-18 will “hunt” black-light egg hunt to win prizes. They will provide you with a black-light flashlight and a chance to win prizes from local vendors.  Pack a picnic and blanket or visit the food and beverage stands they’ll have available.

Kiddos can also enjoy a petting zoo, go to town with craft activities, and snap a selfie with the Easter Bunny.

The City of Dallas is really going to keep the Easter Bunny hopping because their Egg-Cellent Eggs-travaganza is happening at not one, not two, but THREE different Dallas Parks & Recreation locations.
