Easter Brunch

Celebrate the Easter holiday with a view of the beautiful spring bloom on Meadow Lake on Sunday, April 9.

Content Detail

Celebrate Easter Sunday with a delicious buffet-style brunch amid the early spring blooms. Enjoy a variety of breakfast and lunch options, with made-to-order omelets, carving stations, and much more. The Easter Bunny will make a special appearance to visit with kids, hand out cookies, and take pictures.

When you’ve finished brunch, feel free to change into comfortable clothes to explore the Arboretum. Walk the accessible pathway to explore the beautiful scenery around Meadow Lake or drive through the grounds to spot signs of spring.

Adults 21 and older can enjoy the cash bar, which will open at 9:00 a.m. and serve mimosas, Bloody Marys, wine, beer, and mixed beverages.
