Easter at the Bunker

March 30, 2024, 10:00 am3:00 pm

Spring has sprung! You’re invited to burrow underground and join our groundhog Bunker Buddy, Pudge, for some family fun at the Diefenbunker’s annual spring event.

See what treats the Easter Bunny has left behind for you as you explore our four-storey Cold War bunker while searching for signs of spring. Decorate an egg at our craft station, plant some seeds to take home with you, and snap a few photos in our themed photo booth. You can also participate in our visual scavenger hunt and other games including giant Jenga, a bean bag toss, and pin the tail on the bunny. Don’t forget to pick up your goodie bag along the way!

Hop on over to the Diefenbunker — we’re egg-cited to see you!

Date: Saturday, March 30, 2024

Time:
> Entry time slots are every 15 minutes beginning at 10:00 a.m.
> The last entry time is 2:00 p.m. and the museum closes at 3:00 p.m.
> Please arrive during your scheduled entry time. If you miss your entry time, you may need to wait outside the museum due to capacity limits.

Admission:
> $12 per person; Infants 2 and under are free.
> Tickets must be purchased in advance, as there are designated time slots and limited spots available.
> Parking is always free!

Details:
> All items on the scavenger hunt are visual and do not involve picking up or holding any objects. There are no physical eggs or chocolates in the scavenger hunt. Any treats provided are in the goodie bags which will be given out at the end of your visit (nut-free, and while supplies last).
> Please note that the multiple levels, stairs, and narrow hallways in the Diefenbunker make the museum difficult to navigate with a stroller. We recommend bringing a baby carrier instead, if this is a feasible option for you.
