Adult Easter Egg Hunt

to Apr 10

Adult Easter Egg Hunt

This Easter, we’re inviting you to look a little closer at Uni Place

Beginning Monday, April 6th, we’re hosting an Adult Easter Egg Hunt throughout the district! On the morning of the 6th, up to 30 eggs will be scattered across our neighborhood, and your hunt can begin!

Explore the district in your self-guided hunt, grab a coffee to fuel your search, scout around for local hidden gems, and find Easter eggs in the process!

Take your find to Copper & Wax (2701 N 48th St, Lincoln, NE 68504) during posted hours to redeem a prize, including a variety of goods and gifts from our local businesses.

The hunt will end when all the eggs are found, or April 10, whichever comes first!

Whether you’re coming for the hunt, the prizes, or just an excuse to get out and explore, we hope you’ll join us.
