Let’s be honest… Easter in Central Ohio isn’t just about pastel outfits and politely eating chocolate before noon. It’s one of those sneaky stacked weekends filled with egg hunts, brunch reservations, family events, and at least one moment where you’re wondering how finding plastic eggs got so competitive.
Whether you’re on the hunt for the best Easter egg hunts in Columbus, trying to track down where to get photos with the Easter Bunny without a meltdown (yours or your kid’s), or you’re an adult who heard the words “boozy egg hunt” and immediately cleared your schedule, this guide has you covered.
From family-friendly festivals and massive community egg hunts to adult Easter events and everything in between, these are the best Easter events in Central Ohio this year. So grab a basket, maybe stretch beforehand (you’d be surprised how intense this gets), and let’s get into it.
