Easter is indeed a magical time, especially when it ushers in the warmth, the melodious chirping of birds, and the burst of new life in gardens. Here in Surrey, the sight of cherry blossoms beginning to flower adds to the season’s charm. The springtime atmosphere in the Lower Mainland is truly enchanting and offers a perfect backdrop for the holiday.
For those looking for ways to enjoy the long weekend, we’ve curated a list of family-friendly activities that are not only enjoyable but also adhere to the latest safety protocols. It’s vital that we all contribute to community health by staying local and avoiding indoor socializing. Our selection of activities will keep you entertained while complying with the current guidelines.
Plan an Easter Egg Hunt
Set up your yard for an Easter Egg hunt. This classic Easter activity never fails to disappoint! You’ll enjoy watching the kids run around as much as they enjoy finding the chocolates. Considering mixing in non-candy items into your hunt. Maybe have the kids find a puzzle, board game or other hands-on activity that you can do as a family over the weekend.
Enjoy The Cherry Blossoms
Cherry blossoms grace many areas of Metro Vancouver, creating picturesque scenes ideal for photo opportunities and Instagram-worthy moments.
In Burnaby, the cherry blossoms can be admired in Central Park, near Metrotown, and on Burnaby Mountain, offering a variety of scenic backdrops. New Westminster boasts beautiful cherry blossoms in Queens Park and along the Quay, which is also a fantastic spot for a family stroll by the water. In Richmond, the blooms can be enjoyed at Garry Point Park and Larry Berg Flight Park, providing a blend of nature and aviation scenery. For those in Surrey, Bear Creek Park and Crescent Beach are prime locations to experience the beauty of cherry blossoms in full bloom.
Support a Local Restaurant
This weekend, consider ordering take out from a local and independent restaurant or coffee shop in your community. Since indoor dining has been postponed and likely patios will be very busy, ordering take out is a great way to go!
