Get Out: Five Ideas for Your Weekend

With both Easter and Earth Day this weekend, there are a lot of opportunities to have fun. Just make sure you find all of those eggs; there’s nothing fun about finding a little pastel-colored egg way up on a high shelf sometime in November.

This weekend, you can plant trees and flowers for Earth Day, enjoy a pre-Easter-egg-hunt pancake feast and take in a classic play.

Our goal is to make the Get Out planner as reliable as possible, but keep in mind, some events change at the last minute. We advise calling ahead just in case.
