Easter Egg Hunt in the Park

On Easter Sunday and Easter Monday, we cordially invite you to a fun Easter egg hunt in Mainau Park! On both days, symbolic Easter eggs will be hidden at five different locations on the island—clearly visible and easily accessible, so that explorers of all ages can find them without having to climb trees or step into the flower beds.

Each egg contains a voucher that can be redeemed at the Mainau Service Center for a small Easter gift. If you don’t manage to grab an egg or find one that’s already been discovered, don’t be sad: using a QR code on-site, you can enter our digital raffle and, with a little luck, win attractive prizes!

Children’s Program on the Castle Garden Lawn

A colorful children’s program awaits our young guests on the Castle Garden Lawn during the Easter holidays (April 5 & 6, 2026). From 10.00 a.m. to 4.00 p.m., children can get creative, play, and enjoy the Easter season in a spring-like atmosphere.

During a craft activity, children can make their own paper Easter bunny ears, which they can then proudly wear or take home with them.

In addition, a face-painting station will add even more Easter fun. And who knows—maybe our mascot Blumi will stop by for a souvenir photo.
