Easter falls during either March or April: some schools get a long weekend, some get a full week off at Easter instead of a "spring break"... Situations vary, but many families have time for a getaway weekend, and certainly expect the Easter Bunny to show up.

Most hotels and resorts that welcome families will have an Easter Egg hunt, and perhaps other fun activities.

Some make a bigger celebration: such as the grand old lakeside Otesaga Resort Hotel, in Cooperstown NY, which has an annual Easter Family Weekend Package, with dinners, breakfasts, Easter Egg Hunt, Egg Roll, and other activities.

For example, in 2008 Easter Family Weekend Package started at $415, with additional $90 for kids 5 to 18. Package includes:

  • two dinners and two breakfasts
  • - Family Easter Egg Roll activity on The Otesaga Lawn
  • Easter Egg coloring contest, holiday cookie decorating
  • Easter Egg Hunt and Easter Bunny appearance
  • tour of historic Cooperstown (which, by the way, is home to the National Baseball Hall of Fame Museum)
  • holiday movies, family bingo, live music, dancing, and more
