There are many free events for kids around Easter for egg hunts and children's activities. See the list below for 2026.
April 4, 2026 (Sat) - Egg-stravaganza from 10AM - 1PM at Dinosaur Cavs Park in Pismo Beach/Shell Beach. Egg hunt, bounce houses and games are free. You only pay for food trucks. Hunt times: 10:10AM for ages 3 years old and under, 10:40AM for 4 years old - 6 years old, 11:10AM for 7 years old - 9 years old, 11:40AM for ages 10 years old - 12 years old. Address: 2701 Price St, Pismo Beach, CA 93449
April 4, 2026 (Sat) - Egg Hunt & Festival starting at 10AM at Elm Street Park in Arroyo Grande. Free bunny hop & races, egg toss competition, carnival games, face painting, free BBQ hot dogs (while supplies last). In the past, we had to pay for bounce houses but I am not sure about this year. Address: 1221 Ash St., Arroyo Grande, CA 93420

I highly recommend making reservations for Easter Brunch around San Luis Obispo County. Sometimes the crowd can get overwhelming or they will turn away walk-ins.
