This year\, Bunny and the other attractions will all be located on the museum campus\, with a frequent service of streetcars providing rides between the carrot coach and the following attractions:\nSee live animals at the small animal zoo.Join the Easter egg hunt. Hopefully\, the weather this year will allow the hunt to be outside\, but we will move into one of our historic display buildings in case of inclement weather.Whilst riding the streetcar\, help the Bunny to find his missing treasure.Enjoy games as well as our regular playground activities.Coloring activities will be available in our diner annex.Don’t miss our large model railroad displays (under the Hobby Shop sign).For those who would like a longer ride\, electric main line trains will operate from the depot.
