The world is in full flower mode, with activities, sights, and diversions that feel festive and frothy.
Finding this flowery feel around Southern California is a cinch as April grows near, but if you're also seeking outdoor activities created for kids, cute photo spots, and other family-fun alfresco experiences, there are spots that go the full bunny.

The Animal Center at Underwood Family Farms in Moorpark is a year-round delight, but especially so during the "Springtime Easter Festival," which is a time that finds a few fuzzy babies waddling around the grounds.
The festival opens March 22 and tickets, and information, are available on this site. Important to know? You'll definitely need to book your weekend visit ahead of time (the festival runs daily through April 21).
The Scene
Want to find new things to do in Los Angeles? The Scene's lifestyle stories have you covered. Here's your go-to source on where the fun is across SoCal and for the weekend.
The Giant Easter Egg Basket is back at the Moorpark destination — this oversized icon has served as a backdrop in countless SoCal family photos — and the Easter Bunny will hop on by, too, during select hours.
There are more bunnyful doings afoot: At the Irvine Park Railroad, in Orange, an "Easter Extravaganza" is blooming.
Entrance is free — parking has a fee, keep in mind — and each activity is priced separately.
Cookie decorating, the Egg Basket Toss, and a variety of carnival games are among the activities at the nostalgic spot, which will mark its 30th anniversary in 2026.
Keep in mind that the "Easter Extravaganza" will be closed on Easter Sunday, which is April 20.
