Stomp, chomp, and hunt for eggs like a real dinosaur! The 16th Annual Dino Easter Egg Hunt is back at The Dinosaur Place in Montville, Connecticut, on April 4th, 2026.
Bring your junior paleontologists on an exciting adventure where they will hunt for colorful dinosaur eggs in exchange for a special goodie bag, and explore our dinosaur trails.
And don’t forget to take prehistoric selfies with our VIP guest: The Easter Bunny! Food truck will be on site.
This activity is designed for kids ages 1 to 12; Pre-registration is required.
Find Your Age Group: We have 4 hunts spread throughout the park, each for specific age ranges:
• Under 2 years old
• 2-4 years old
• 5-7 years old
• 8+ years old
Register Together: If you have kids in different age groups, register them to the eldest group. For example, a 4-year-old cannot join the under-2 group, but an under-2-year-old can join the 2-4 group.
Time & Arrival: Check your age group’s time slot and arrive 15 minutes early for registration. There will be color-coded signage showing designated age groups.
Follow the Leader: Our friendly group leaders will take you to the designated hunt area within the park.
Hunt Begins! Thousands of empty eggs are hidden, so everyone has a chance to find at least one! (Please limit your collection to 5 eggs to ensure there are enough for every child)
Prizes for All: After the hunt, exchange your found eggs for a guaranteed surprise. In case you didn’t find any: don’t worry! The prizes are guaranteed.
Explore & Enjoy: Stay and play in the park after the hunt! The entire park will be open, and a food truck will be on-site. Keep an eye open for the Easter Bunny for the photo op!
