It’s time once again for Easter and there are plent of activities in the Greater Palm Springs Area this year including Easter egg hunts, brunch, sunrise service high in the mountain, a sky diving bunny, and whatever Kanye West is doing at Coachella.
Easter Eggstravaganza at the Living Desert

Children can also have their photo taken with the Easter Bunny or amongst 10,000 eggs.
There will also be a rematch of the Tortoise and Hare race when The Living Desert’s Easter bunny takes on the zoo’s tortoise mascot (hmmmm, who will win??? ????). The event is free for members and has no extra cost for those visiting the park other than a normal admission fee.
