Easter Bunny Photos at Hillsdale Shopping Center
Through April 4

The Easter Bunny is set up in Macy's Center Court for photos through April 4, making it easy to pop in during a shopping trip. Little ones who are still figuring out their feelings about giant bunnies will appreciate the relaxed, indoor mall setting.

Photos from $28. Walk-ins welcome

Eggstravaganza at San Mateo Central Park 
Saturday, April 4, 9am-noon

Celebrating nearly 50 years, this beloved community event is a rite of passage for San Mateo families. The big news for parents of the tiniest egg hunters: there's a dedicated Peter Rabbit's Playground in the gazebo for little ones age 3 and under, hosted by San Mateo Building Blocks. Older kids (4–9) can join the main wristband egg hunt at Fitzgerald Field. Beyond the hunt, the event includes a Spring Bunny photo station, a costume contest, food vendors, and performances by PAL Ballet Folklorico and Puppet Art Theater Co. A heads-up: Online wristband reservations for the main egg hunt have sold out, but a limited number of walk-up wristbands will be available on the day.

Free. Arrive early for walk-up wristbands

Belmont Egg Adventure Hunt at Twin Pines Park
Friday, April 3, 4:30-5:30 pm and Saturday, April 4, 10am–noon

Belmont is offering two separate events this year. On April 3, there's a smaller, preregistration-required evening adaptive hunt in the meadow — a lovely low-key option for little ones who might get overwhelmed by larger crowds. On April 4, the bigger hunt kicks off with 18,000 eggs and four golden eggs hidden for kids ages 3–10, organized by age group so your toddler isn't competing with five-year-olds. Easter Bunny photos and refreshments round out the morning. Bring your own basket!

Free. April 3 requires advance signup. Note arrival times

Foster City Egg Hunt at Leo J. Ryan Park
Saturday, April 4, 10am–noon

Foster City hosts their egg hunt at the scenic Leo J. Ryan Park meadow, right along the lagoon. A well-organized neighborhood event that's great for stroller-age kids — the flat park terrain means easy maneuvering for parents and wobbly toddler walkers alike.

$10

Easter Bunny Arrives by Helicopter! at Hiller Aviation Museum
Saturday, April 4, 10am–noon

If your toddler is obsessed with planes and helicopters (and which one isn't?), this is the event of the season. The Easter Bunny makes a dramatic arrival at the Hiller Aviation Museum via helicopter, touching down at the San Carlos Airport. The day also includes face painting, a bounce house and slide, and model train displays, plus everything the aviation museum itself has to offer. A genuinely unique combo of aviation wonder and Easter magic that you won't find anywhere else on the Peninsula.

Museum admission applies.

Easter Egg Hunts at Lemos Farm — Half Moon Bay
