VanDusen Botanical Gardens is hosting an Easter "Eggspedition" this April

Staff at VanDusen Botanical Garden in Vancouver is inviting the public to come take part in an Easter “Eggspedition” next month.

According to organizers, the event is being presented four different times, on three separate days, over the course of the long weekend.

“Participants can take part in a giant egg hunt being held in the garden, and everyone who completes the “mission” will receive a prize. Prizes will also be awarded during each session for best costumes.”

Participants can also have their photo taken with the Easter bunnies, and enjoy activities at the garden including live music, kids activities, and entertainment on the Great lawn.

All Easter activities conclude at 2:30 pm each day, and for those who get hungry during the event, food trucks will also be on-site.
