Perfect for keeping little ones occupied over the Easter break.

With Easter just a few short days away, you’re probably not alone if you’re on the hunt for activities to keep kids busy while schools are shut.

From fun-filled Easter hunts to educational fun, the always-popular retail destination has announced two family events taking place over the Easter break – ideal for any parents looking for ways to keep little ones busy while they’re off from school. Within a short day-trip distance from Dublin, it’s the perfect spot to celebrate the weekend that’s in it.

From 6-16 April, the village is hosting a Junior Einstein Club, allowing budding scientists to expand their minds and enjoy some messy fun with a whole host of fun experiments. It’s a drop-off club for kids aged 5-12 years old, and there will be three two-hour sessions each day at 11am, 1pm and 3pm.

And when it comes to getting into the spirit of things, Kildare Village’s annual Lindt Gold Bunny Hunt is back this year from the 6-10 April, giving little ones the chance to search for some delicious chocolate bunnies. Running from 12 pm-5 pm every day, little explorers can pick up their map with clues in the lounge before venturing out in search of some Easter treats.

But that’s not all! The New Brass Kings will be performing on Good Friday and Easter Monday, bringing a taste of jazz to any shoppers strolling by. And of course, kids are also welcome to pay a visit to Kildare Village’s on-site playground as well.

While all that fun is taking place, parents can enjoy an exciting day out of their own, browsing Kildare Village’s huge selection of boutiques and dining spots. On any given visit, you can shop some of the world’s best designers at a very reasonable price tag, before unwinding at one of the Village’s on-site food spots. Ideal!
