🐇The Easter Bunny is making its way to Taupō!

🪣So, put on your hoppy faces, scratch around for rabbit ears and dig out your Easter egg bucket…

🪺Because this year the bunny is up to some crazy tricks!

🥚We present to you a proper Taupō Easter egg hunt.

🐣Here’s how it will work….

- Hidden around town and in key tourist areas (Huka Falls Track, CBD, Tongariro Domain, Riverside Park, etc.) will be small, flat wooden Easter eggs.
- Each egg will have a message with your next instruction...
- Find an egg, bring it into the business named in the message and collect their Easter treat.
- There is also one Golden Egg from each shop, granting them an egg-stra special prize.

📆Eggs will be hidden late on April 2nd, and treats can be collected up until April 9th.
*Please be mindful some shops will be closed on Good Friday and Easter Sunday, so check opening hours.

*And bear in mind, many people are hoping to find eggs, so please don't take more than your fair share. 😇

Love Taupō
