Gov­er­nors Island Egg Hunt

Join for the first-ever pub­lic egg hunt on Gov­er­nors Island this spring! 10,000 wood­en paint­ed eggs will be hid­den through­out the Island’s 120 acres of open space, with Island-spe­cif­ic prizes and give­aways for the most hard-boiled egg hunters.

This weekend’s egg hunt isn’t just for kids! Governors Island guests of all ages can participate in the special Island-wide scavenger hunt to find all 8 amazing, hand-painted wooden eggs. Each egg depicts a unique Governors Island scene, like the Liggett archway, the historic houses in Nolan Park, the Hammock Grove sheep, and more. Pre-reg­is­tra­tion (free) is rec­om­mend­ed for the kids’ egg hunts. No reg­is­tra­tion nec­es­sary for adults.

The day-long cel­e­bra­tion at the Parade Ground will also include per­for­mances from Won­der­spark Pup­pets, Brook­lyn Mag­ic Shop, and more to be announced. Spring-themed arts and crafts will be fea­tured all day, and food will be avail­able for pur­chase onsite from Gov­er­nors Island ven­dors along with a beer gar­den from Gov­er­nors Island Beer Co. Vis­i­tors will also get to enjoy a Spring Bun­ny pho­to op and the hijinx of Looney Tooney the Clown.

To participate, grab a scavenger hunt passport & map when you check in on the Parade Ground and head off on a trip around the Island! There will be an Egg Hunt team member stationed at each wooden egg, ready to stamp your passport. Each stamp = one raffle entry for prizes including a day at QCNY, a night at Collective Retreats, Friends of Governors Island memberships, and more!
