Designed for family outings and scenic getaways, the Chevy Traverse provides comfort and convenience for every journey.
In some ways, Easter is a kids’ holiday full of springtime excitement, the idea of renewal, and of course, lots of candy. Fortunately, Metro Detroit offers a wide array of fun activities the whole family can enjoy as the day approaches.
You can do everything from visits with the Easter Bunny to a great brunch with family and friends. Or you can hang out at a local farm and spend the day enjoying the spring weather. For kids who love to get crafty, there are plenty of opportunities to color and create in a family-centric setting.
Check ahead of time for any kind of dress code or age requirements–some events may require a lot of sitting between events, and some little kids may not want to hang out that long. Dress code also varies; for example, some venues may require suitcoats or disallow blue jeans.
And be sure to check for tickets and registration. Some brunches can be costly while others are more like pancake get-togethers that may be more budget-friendly. Kids also may be comped if they are under a certain age.
