This year's Egg Scramble has been cancelled due to COVID-19 concerns.

Join Elmhurst Park District at the Egg Scramble in beautiful Wilder Park (formally the Egg Hunt)! Over 10,000 eggs will be out for the taking, filled with candy and goodies. Even kids ages 0-2 can join the fun, with eggs filled with non-food items like stickers and tattoos designated for our youngest group. 

Come early to meet with the Easter Bunny and snap a family photo! Then find your age group section to be ready to scramble for eggs at 10 a.m. sharp. The hunt goes quickly so please give yourself plenty of time to find parking and get to the appropriate age group. And in the interest of fairness, we ask that you limit it to a max of 10 eggs per child.

The egg scramble will be followed by our Doggie Eggstravaganza at 10:30 a.m., when the fun goes to the dogs. Prizes will be awarded for best doggie costume so make sure to dress for the occasion.

This year's Mother Son Dance is cancelled due to COVID-10 concerns.

This program is full. Visit our registration page to be added to the waitlist.
