There’s just something magical about hunting Easter eggs that takes folks back to the good ol’ days—maybe it was chasing brightly colored eggs through the grass at Spring Lake Park, racing around a church lawn, or even searching for hidden treasures inside the house during a rainy Easter morning. Whether it’s after church or after dinner in the backyard, Easter egg hunts have a way of bringing families together and creating memories that last a lifetime.
Now that April has rolled in, Easter Sunday falls on April 20 this year, and the Texarkana area is hopping with opportunities for kids and grown-ups alike to join in the fun. From church lawns to water parks, here’s a roundup of Easter egg hunts that promise to deliver plenty of springtime smiles:
