Location Moved – Now an Indoor Easter Event in Ann Arbor
Due to the rainy forecast for Saturday, April 4, Ann Arbor Parks has moved Hop, Skip, Spring to Veterans Park. It will now be an inside Easter Hunt in the Veterans Park Ice Arena- don’t worry the ice has been removed for the season.
Join Ann Arbor Parks for Hop, Skip, Spring!
Participants can bring a basket and travel the path, stopping along the way to meet volunteers dressed as different animals. Each volunteer will invite participants to complete a quick, playful challenge, such as hopping like a bunny, twirling in a circle, or trying a short hula hoop spin. After completing the task, participants will receive a small treat or toy before continuing along the route. When participants finish the loop, they can enjoy a simple craft activity, take a photo with Hopps the Bunny and visit with real bunnies on site. Environmental Education staff will also host a bunny-themed story time from 10-11 a.
