Easter at the Orchard: Egg Hunt and Cookie Decorating

✨️ EASTER AT THE ORCHARD UPDATE ✨️
We are closely monitoring todays weather. It looks like we will be experiencing some heavy rains this afternoon. For those with afternoon tickets, if you are available to attend this morning please come out to the farm early! Let the check-in person know what time your ticket was for upon arrival so we can quickly find your name!

Easter Egg Hunt & Cookie Decorating

April 3rd & 4th from 9:00am to 3:00pm

We are excited to invite you to celebrate Easter at the orchard! We are hosting a special event designed specifically for preschool and elementary-aged children. (It is open to any ages, but this is the recommended age group.)  Come join us for some great family memories together at the orchard!  
 
One of the highlights of our event is the calm, small-group atmosphere. Unlike traditional hunts, our egg hunt runs non-stop throughout the day, allowing for a much quieter and more enjoyable experience for your little ones.
 
Tickets are required to participate and are available for entry times every 15 minutes throughout the event. Please note that space is limited for each time slot, so we recommend purchasing your tickets in advance to secure your preferred time. 

Activities:

The Easter Egg Hunt will take place continuously in the FarmYard from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM. Children are welcome to collect as many eggs as they like, which can be redeemed for a special treat bag. Please remember to bring your own Easter basket and dress appropriately for the weather, as this is an outdoor event and it can be cool in April.
 
In the Big Red Barn, children can participate in cookie decorating and create a fun Easter craft to take home. Additionally, you may visit the Snack Shack for a fresh donut and drink, which is included with your ticket. We also encourage you to bring your camera or phone to take advantage of the various photo opportunities located around the farm.
 
Families are welcome to move at their own pace to visit each station. We recommend allowing approximately one hour to complete all the activities.
 
The Easter bunny will NOT be making an appearance {just want you know what to expect}.

Everyone (ages 2 and older) attending the Easter Event located in the FarmYard must have either a participant or spectator ticket to enter.

Refunds:

This is a non-refundable event.

Rain Policy:

Tuttle Orchards is a working farm, and this is an outdoor event. The Easter celebration will be held rain or shine, so please dress accordingly.

The event will take place in the FarmYard area (play in the FarmYard is included with ticket). Cookie decorating and crafts will be held at the Big Red Barn in the FarmYard. The egg hunt will take place outdoors in the FarmYard — even in the event of rain.

If it is raining, families may choose one of the following options for their children:

  • Participate in the outdoor egg hunt (please bring raincoats and boots), or

  • Skip the outdoor egg hunt but still receive a goodie bag to take home. 

Please note: There are no refunds due to weather, as this is a rain-or-shine event. The only exception would be if Tuttle Orchards cancels due to severe weather conditions such as lightning or tornado warnings (should this happen - you would be notified at the email you used when purchasing tickets then morning of the event).  

We recommend dressing for the weather and planning for muddy conditions — it’s part of the farm fun!
