The weakest? Don't feel too bad for them. There are plenty of eggs to go around. And besides, egg hunts are only part of the festivities. Most Easter events offer several other activities and an appearance from a certain fuzzy bunny.
But which are the best Easter egg hunts in Miami? New Times has got you covered.
Egg Venture at Zoo Miami
The virtual scavenger hunt has been replaced by a physical scavenger hunt map that you can purchase for $10. Fill out the entire map using corresponding stickers to receive a prize. And if you visit the zoo Easter weekend, you'll also be able to watch animals such as tigers, rhinos, elephants, and sloth bears receive Easter-themed goodies of their own. 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. through Sunday, March 31, at Zoo Miami, 12400 SW 152nd St., Miami; 305-255-5551; zoomiami.org. Tickets cost $18.95 to $22.95; scavenger hunt maps cost $10.
Glow-in-the-Dark Egg Hunt at Tinez Farms
Once the sun goes down, this egg hunt gets turnt up. Kids can search for glow-in-the-dark eggs at night (there is an average of ten to 12 eggs per child), ride the bubble tubing slide, and play games with Tinez's LED Robot. And yes, even the Easter Bunny makes a rare nighttime appearance. 7 to 10 p.m. Friday, March 29, through Sunday, March 31, at Tinez Farms, 16405 SW 177th Ave., Miami; 786-816-3474; tinezfarms.com. Tickets cost $17 to $20 via simpletix.com.Easter Egg Hunt at Red Rooster Overtown
Who wants ice cream? Red Rooster will be offering free scoops of ice cream to kids participating in its annual egg hunt, which takes place on the side lawn at chef Marcus Samuelsson's restaurant. Also on the Easter agenda: egg races and face painting. 11:30 a.m. Saturday, March 30, at Red Rooster Overtown, 920 NW Second Ave., Miami; 305-640-9880; redroosterovertown.com. Sold out.
Megga Egga Hunt at Jungle Island
Not every kid will have a successful egg hunt experience every time. Sometimes, they crumble under pressure or simply get overmatched by the dreaded older kids. Good thing the egg hunts at Jungle Island take place every hour this weekend from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, March 30, and Sunday, March 31, at Jungle Island, 1111 Parrot Jungle Trl., Miami; 305-400-7000; jungleisland.com.
