Easter falls during either March or April: 2009 date is April 12. Some schools get a long weekend, some get a full week off...

Meanwhile Passover begins at sundown on Wednesday April 8th in 2009, continuing until April 16th; some destinations -- such as Woodloch Pines -- invite families for both holidays.

Most hotels and resorts that welcome families will have an Easter Egg hunt, and perhaps other fun activities. Some make a bigger celebration.

Or jump to many special Easter Weekend Events, in multiple cities: Eggstravaganzas with Parades, Egg Hunts or Rolls, Bunny appearances, and more. :
