Hop over and fill your baskets full of candy at Waukee’s annual Easter Egg Hunt on the Saturday before Easter. The hunt starts at 10 a.m. at Centennial Park, rain or shine. Get there early to find your hunting field as the horn sounds right at 10 a.m. and the hunt goes quickly! Kids will rush for thousands of eggs and pieces of candy at this popular event. Be sure to watch for the special golden prize eggs. Bring your own basket or bag to collect candy. Please note that some candy may contain nuts.

Things to Plan Around
The Waukee District PTO is hosting their Waukee Walks even at 9 a.m. in Centennial Park before the egg hunt. If you are participating, grab a drink or a treat from Traveling Tom's Coffee or The Donut Den and stick around for the egg hunt. Get more details on their Facebook event page here. If you are not participating in the walk, allow extra time to find parking and navigate around people leaving the Waukee Walks event.
Warrior Lane is closed from south of Ford Lane and Park Road to University Avenue. The trail through the park is open. Park Road is open through Centennial Park. Allow extra time when traveling in this area. Read more about the road closure here.
