Easter Sunday is April 8th. That’s a little more than a week away and until this morning I hadn’t given it a thought. So what is there to do that day for us non church going types? Sure, you can sit at home in your unmentionables and munch down a bowl of toasty oh’s while you watch a slew of infomercials Sunday morning, but in Portland we have a whole host of other opportunities for that weekend:

Saturday April 7th the Oregon Zoo will be holding their Rabbit Romp. There are games and a petting zoo for all along with the candy “egg” hunts every 20 minutes for ages 2-10. Visitors will also have a chance to learn about the zoo’s conservation efforts to protect endangered pygmy rabbits. All activities are free with zoo admission.

Sunday April 8th the historic McMenamins locations are having Easter Brunch. All are welcome but reservations are required.

Sunday April 8th Portland Art Museum will conduct 2 Family Tours at 1pm. There’s also drop in family art making fun from 1-3pm (photo art). Leaving the little nippers at home? At 3pm they have a public tour. It’s all ages but not geared toward families with little ones.

Sunday April 8th Frogz “Imago’s famous Broadway production”. I’ve never seen this show myself but I’ve heard it is like no other. It has returned to Portland for a limited run. Sunday shows (including Easter) are at 1:30 pm.

Those are just a few of the scheduled events I found, there’s tons more too do if you just look around. Whether you find something new and fun to do, follow your own family tradition or sit around in your birthday suit reading a book, I hope you all have a great holiday weekend.
