Easter in LA: Best brunch spots, egg hunts and things to do

Celebrate a laidback Easter Saturday on the waterfront at the Easter Hoppening in Malibu Bluffs Park (24250 Pacific Coast Hwy). This all-inclusive event offers fun for the entire family: an egg hunt at noon for kids ages 1-10, a glow-in-the-dark egg hunt for 11-17–year-olds, and even a hunt for adults with sports tickets, dining coupons and gift cards as prizes in lieu of candy. The searches are free; just bring a basket—and a camera. After unearthing your loot, enjoy some of the other activities; arts and crafts, photos with the Easter Bunny and cartooning for kids will be on offer, plus bounce houses and face painting (for a small fee). You can fuel the family at Stop Guac & Roll and Baby's Badass Burgers food trucks.

Treat your family to the Easter Celebration in the famous Polo Lounge at the Beverly Hills Hotel. You'll feast on a three-course prix-fixe brunch, which includes champagne and a dessert bar. Dine inside the classic spot or on the terrace, where you can watch the kids as they run around the garden hunting for eggs. Reservations required.

Spring into action at this lapin-loving annual event at the Los Angeles Zoo, which zeroes in on the bunny aspect of the holiday. Kids can get acquainted with the cute creatures through themed crafts, rabbit petting zoos, live music and photo ops with Big Bunny and spring fairies.
