Ostereiersuchen - Easter Egg Hunt 2025

JOIN US! Every year for the past four years, we will gather again for a fun Easter Egg Hunt in Central Park.

We will have various stations where the kids can engage in fun games (e.g., Eierlaufen, Sackhüpfen, etc.). Once all the points are collected, they can start the Egg Hunt for their very special Easter Gift that the “Osterhase” hid for them.

We will also offer light refreshments for the whole family.
