Spring is in the air and Easter’s almost here, which means it’s officially egg-hunting season! Dyeing eggs at home is a beloved tradition for many families, but let’s settle this debate once and for all: Should egg hunts feature real dyed eggs or plastic ones filled with candy and cash?

It turns out there are two kinds of egg hunters—those who prefer the classic dyed eggs and those who eagerly seek out plastic eggs stuffed with sweets and surprises. My family learned this lesson the hard way when we excitedly arrived at a community egg hunt only to discover it was exclusively hard-boiled eggs. Let’s just say, my kids were less than thrilled.

We’re talking about eggs loaded with chocolates, jelly beans, or even dollar bills—not a sad little plastic egg with a lonely Skittle. To avoid any egg hunt disappointments, we've compiled a list of the most exciting Easter events around Tulsa. Mark your calendars—these are events you won’t want to miss!
