Don’t feel like hiding a ton of plastic candy-filled eggs in your yard this Easter? Opt for one of these local Easter celebrations for a stress-free and memorable holiday weekend with family and friends.

1. Take a train ride with the Easter Bunny at the Lebanon Mason Monroe Railroad for its annual Easter Bunny Express event. This crowd-favorite journey stops at the Lebanon Sports Complex, where the railroad will host an Easter egg hunt—a new location that will provide more space for children and families to enjoy the festivities.

16 E. South St., Lebanon, (513) 933-8022, lebanonrr.com

2. Enjoy your Easter Sunday in style, sailing across the Ohio River on the BB Riverboats Easter Cruise. Scheduled to depart from Newport Landing, the boat offers an afternoon and evening ride with options for brunch and dinner. The Easter Bunny will also be attending, of course.

3. For a wild take on Easter, hop over to the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden Easter Celebration. The zoo will host animal-themed egg hunts and activities throughout the park. Pro tip: If you find one of four hidden golden eggs and turn it in at the welcome center, you’ll receive a prize.
