Whether or not you observe Easter (if you do, it's not too late to worship in style), families of all faiths can enjoy the thrill of the egg hunt throughout town at these hoppening events.

Easter Orange Hunt + Peeps Art Contest

Bring the whole family to the Orange Show Monument's colorful maze as kids hunt for candy-filled eggs and, naturally, oranges. Stick around for the fifth annual Peeps Art Contest, where the marshmallow treats are transformed into everything from sculptures to creative dioramas.

Saturday, April 15. Hunt start time and Peep submission deadline: 11 a.m. $5 suggested donation per child. The Orange Show Monument, 2402 Munger St. orangeshow.org

Animal Egg Hunt at the Houston Zoo

Go wild at the egg-themed scavenger hunt throughout the zoo and spot—but please, don't touch!—paper maché eggs hiding in the habitats of gorillas, lions, chimpanzees and more.

Saturday, April 15 from 9–3 p.m. Event included with zoo admission; $11.50–18. The Houston Zoo, 6200 Hermann Park Dr. 713-533-6500. houstonzoo.org

Easter in the Gardens

It's always an—ahem—eggcellent idea to visit Galveston, with Moody Gardens' annual Easter egg hunts being no exception.
