As a mom of a daughter who will be celebrating her first Easter this year, I should, in the interest of full disclosure, mention that I have never been to any egg hunts in the Boston area to-date, and so I don’t know which hunt is “the” hunt at which to see and be seen and to win the best prizes. My consolation, of course, is that she probably won’t remember much of this Easter, and so we can use this year as a trial for upcoming years.

After a somewhat embarrassingly extended Google internet search (why isn’t there one on the Boston Common?!), I have done my best to compile a list of egg hunts in the Boston area, among which, hopefully, is “the” best Boston area hunt of all time.
If you know of a good hunt that I’ve omitted or if you have any recommendations on any of the following, please let me know!
