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

Most hotels and resorts that welcome families will have an Easter Egg Hunt. Some, like the grand old lakeside Otesaga Resort Hotel in Cooperstown, NY, offer guests a larger celebration. The Hotel's annual Easter Family Weekend Package typically includes:

  • Two dinners and two breakfasts
  • A family Easter Egg Roll activity on The Otesaga Lawn
  • An Easter Egg coloring contest and holiday cookie decorating
  • An Easter Egg Hunt and Easter Bunny appearance
  • A 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
You can also see Easter Weekend Packages at four other resorts that have major events and celebrations: The Atlantis Bahamas, Ritz-Carlton Amelia Island, Hershey Lodge, and Woodloch Pines Resort in Pennsylvania.
