Spring in Montana always keeps things interesting. One minute it feels like true spring, the next you’re wondering if you should grab a winter coat on your way out the door. Easter weekend is no exception, but snow or sunshine, Billings always shows up for a good egg hunt.
If you’re looking for something fun to do with the kids this weekend, here are some of the best Easter egg hunts happening around town, with dates and times so you can plan it out.
Community Easter Egg Hunt at Pioneer Park
Date: Saturday, April 4
Time: 10:00 AM
Ages: Toddler through elementary, divided by age groups
This is one of the most popular egg hunts in Billings for a reason. It’s big, it’s fast-paced, and it’s full of energy. Kids line up, the countdown starts, and within minutes the field is cleared of eggs.
Arriving early makes a big difference here. If you wait until start time, you’ll likely be watching from the sidelines.
Easter Egg Hunt at ZooMontana
Date: Saturday, April 4
Time: 11:00 AM
Admission: Regular zoo admission
This option adds a little more to the experience. After the egg hunt, families can explore the zoo, making it an easy way to turn a quick outing into a full morning or afternoon activity.
The space also tends to feel a bit more spread out, which can be helpful for younger kids who might feel overwhelmed in larger crowds.
Family Easter Event at Harvest Church
Date: Saturday, April 4
Time: 9:30 AM
Includes: Egg hunt, games, and light refreshments
This event offers a slower pace and a more relaxed environment. It’s especially great for younger children or families who prefer a less crowded setting. Along with the egg hunt, there are usually additional activities that make it feel more like a full morning event.
Easter Egg Hunt at Connections Church
Date: Saturday, April 4
Time: 10:30 AM
Includes: Egg hunt, family activities, and community gathering
Connections Church always puts on a really welcoming event that feels easy to jump into, whether you’ve been before or it’s your first time. It’s a great mix of organized and relaxed, which makes it a solid option for families with kids of different ages.
West End Easter Egg Hunt at Amend Park
Date: Saturday, April 4
Time: 1:00 PM
Ages: Multiple groups
If mornings tend to get busy, this is a great option later in the day. It also gives families a second chance if they miss an earlier hunt or want to attend more than one.
Afternoon events can be a little more relaxed, and temperatures are often slightly warmer.
What to Expect with the Weather
It wouldn’t be Easter in Billings without at least a small question mark around the forecast. There is always a chance of sunshine, wind, or even a little snow.
The best approach is to plan for layers. Comfortable shoes, a jacket, and something easy to move in will go a long way in keeping everyone happy regardless of conditions.
Tips for a Smooth Easter Egg Hunt
Bringing a sturdy basket or bag is helpful, especially at larger events where kids tend to collect quickly. Arriving early can make the experience less stressful, and having a plan for where to meet up afterward is always a good idea in bigger crowds.
For younger children, choosing smaller or more relaxed hunts can make the experience more enjoyable and less overwhelming.
A Final Thought
Easter egg hunts in Billings are less about perfect conditions and more about the experience. Whether it’s a sunny spring morning or a slightly chilly one, the excitement of the hunt, the laughter, and the time spent together are what make the day memorable.
And if there does happen to be a little snow on the ground, it just turns it into a very Montana version of Easter.
