Annual Easter Egg Hunt & Easter Egg Roll Children are invited to hunt for more than 5,000 eggs on the Museum’s lawns. The Museum grounds will be sectioned off into age-appropriate areas so everyone, including toddlers, will have an opportunity to participate. Museum gates open at 9:00 a.m. when children may have their picture taken with the Easter Bunny, and create Easter-themed art. The Easter Egg Hunt begins promptly at 10:00 a.m. After the hunt, children are invited to join in special games, including the Gilded Age game of egg rolling. Egg rolling began on the South Lawn of the White House when President Rutherford B. Hayes welcomed children to the first White House Easter Egg Roll in 1878. Special prizes will be awarded to the game winners. Children are encouraged to bring their own Easter baskets. Wooden egg rolling spoons will be provided. The Easter Egg Hunt is sponsored by the Palm Beach Daily News.
