Hayrides to Bunnyland – Media, Pennsylvania

Livilla Orchards’ Hayrides to Bunnyland is also not in Delaware Easter activity. However, it’s not too far away in Media, PA, north of the state. At Linvilla Orchards, your family will enjoy a hayride to the Easter Bunny’s house through the woods. Families will enjoy storytime and a special treat. After the ride, you can visit the Playland Playground, get your face painted, or have a pony ride. You may also want to check out the Farm Market for baked goods and Easter plants. This experience is $12 for guests five and up and $9 for guests 1-5. Children younger than one are free.

These are some of my favorite Easter activities taking place in and around Delaware this year. Which ones will you attend?
