Arizona Biltmore Easter Weekend
If you’re looking for extravagance this Easter, look no further than the Arizona Biltmore. In addition to appearances from the Easter Bunny and an epic egg hunt, the fun-filled weekend will feature a petting zoo, photo booth, face paint, arts and crafts, inflatable obstacle course, rock-climbing wall and Easter-themed competitions. For much needed sustenance, kids can munch on infinite cotton candy, popcorn and snow cones. Access to the festivities is free for resort guests and brunch-goers. If you’re feeling particularly energized the morning of, consider registering for the Beat the Bunny 5K. They say it’s all fun and games, but the top three male and female finishers will be awarded medals. For more information, please visit www.arizonabiltmore.com
Bunnyland at Scottsdale Fairmont Princess
On Sunday, April 5, resort and brunch guests of the Scottsdale Fairmont Princess are invited to enjoy a whimsical, Easter-themed playground. From 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., the Lagoon Lawn will be overflowing with exciting activities, including a petting zoo, jumper rooms, pony rides, wooden turtle races, potato sack races, jelly bean bingo and giant bubble making. A mind-bending magic show and not-to-be-missed performance by professional hula hoopers from the Heady Hoop Tribe will take place on the Bunnyland stage, while sick beats from DJ Splash keep things bumpin’. Not one but three Easter egg hunts will take place throughout the day on Canyon Lawn (start times are at 11 a.m., and 1 and 2 p.m.). The Easter Bunny will make an appearance at the brunch from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. for complimentary photos, if you can stand to pull yourself away from the elaborate outdoor feast, prepared by the Fairmont’s top chefs.

Easter at The Wigwam
Enjoy pregame Sunday brunch with a scrumptious breakfast in The Wigwam Ballroom on Saturday April 4 from 8 to 11 a.m. In between bites of mini waffles and M&M-filled pancakes, the Easter Bunny will present each child with their very own egg. Once everyone is good and fed, the festivities continue on the Front Lawn, where Paul Horton of CBS 5 will host The Wigwam’s 5th Annual Egg Roll & Easter Festival. From 8:30 a.m. to noon, families can bond over a variety of activities, including an Easter egg roll, chic-lit reading corner, egg decorating & crafts, Easter outfit competition and more. Diehard Easter peeps might consider postponing breakfast an hour or two – the Easter Bunny will arrive via helicopter at 8:30 a.m. sharp. For more information, please visit wigwamarizona.com
