By Courtney Daly-Pavone March 15, 2024

This year Easter falls early on March 31st. That leaves three weekends to partake in fun activities with your kids like Egg Hunts, Easter Arts and Crafts, and spending plenty of time outdoors at seasonal Spring places like The San Diego Botanic Garden, The Flower Fields @ Carlsbad Ranch, Alta Vista Botanical Gardens, and The Carlsbad Strawberry Company.
