Popular Easter Egg Hunt Returns to Glimmerglass State Park, Hyde Hall

COOPERSTOWN—Glimmerglass State Park and Hyde Hall have announced the return of their annual Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday, April 19 at 11 a.m. sharp, and once the eggs are gone, they’re gone, organizers said. This popular community event is rain or shine but promises a morning of fun as Hyde Hall’s historic grounds are transformed into a treasure-filled area with eggs hidden for discovery.

Families are invited to bring their baskets and enjoy a morning of exploration on Hyde Hall’s lawn. The hunt will begin promptly at 11 a.m., and there will be designated “egg zones” for different age groups—0-3, 4-7, and 8-11—ensuring everyone has a chance to participate. Special golden eggs will also be hidden, and those lucky enough to find one will receive an extra prize.

“We’re so happy to partner with Glimmerglass State Park to continue this fun, family tradition,” said Jonathan Maney, executive director of Hyde Hall. “It’s a great way to welcome spring and create lasting memories with young and old alike. We’ve missed our visitors, and this event is a perfect prelude to Hyde Hall’s grand reopening on May 24.”

Guests should plan to arrive early because the event begins promptly at 11 a.m., organizers reminded. With extensive walking and standing required on the grounds of Hyde Hall, arriving ahead of time will ensure a positive experience, the said. Plus, early arrivals might even spot the Easter Bunny and, if lucky, have a chance to snap some photos to share with family and friends.
