Easter at Maan Farms

Maan Farms is a farm and tourist attraction in Abbotsford. In 2024 it hosted its fourth annual adults-only Easter event called Bunnies and Booze.

Note: Bunnies and Booze isn’t happening in 2025. This year there’s only family-friendly Easter Activities at Maan Farms. Baby Animal Easter Days runs on April 12th to 13th and again from April 18th to 20th. There are also other things to see at the farm in April, including the new Tulip Forest. For full details about this season’s activities at Maan Farms, see the official Spring at the Farm page.

Bunnies and Booze at Maan Farms

Bunnies and Booze was one of three Easter events at Maan Farms in 2024. Unlike many other Easter celebrations in Metro Vancouver, Bunnies and Booze was for adults only. The other two events at the farm that year were Baby Animal Easter Days and Breakfast with the Easter Bunny, both of which were family-friendly.

Bunnies and Booze celebrated its fourth year in 2024. It began with delicious food and drinks from Mama Maan’s Kitchen. The evening continued with fun and entertaining games for all to enjoy.

After dinner and the games, when dusk arrived, the adult Easter egg hunt began. This was when everyone searched for coloured eggs outdoors with their Easter baskets and flashlights in hand. To make the hunt especially interesting, there was one golden egg hidden on the property. Whoever found the special egg first won an awesome grand prize.

In 2024 Bunnies and Booze took place on Saturday, March 30th. Hopefully it returns in a future year.

Admission to Bunnies & Booze

Tickets to Bunnies & Booze in 2024 cost $79 each (plus online fees and taxes). That was the same price as the year before.

Admission included starters and one of three main dishes, plus one alcoholic beverage. Tickets also included access to all of the fun games, participation in the egg hunt and prizes.

Since the egg hunt took place at night, Maan Farms recommended bringing flashlights and baskets to the event.

All Bunnies and Booze tickets had to be purchased online in advance in 2024. Tickets were not available on-site on the day.

Event Dinner Menu

As previously mentioned, tickets to the Bunnies and Booze event included food. Everyone who attended in 2024 got one samosa and a few fresh pakoras as starters. The appetizers were very tasty!

Admission also included your choice of poutine or a naan taco along with either butter chicken or chickpea curry. Another option in 2024 was chicken strips and fries. Guests also received one glass of beer or Maan Farms wine.

Although a couple of appetizers, one main dish and one drink were included with admission, there were additional items for sale too. While booking your ticket online, you had the option to pre-purchase extra drinks, main dishes and desserts. You could have also bought these as well as food products to take home with you on the day of the event.

Easter Event Games

Activities at previous Bunnies and Booze events were similar to what children might have played at a comparable event, or what kids might have played at summer camp. It was surprising how much fun the games were when played by just adults (especially after having a few drinks)!

When we went in 2022, the games included racing with a raw egg on a spoon and egg tossing competitions between partners. The session of games lasted for about 30 minutes or so and the champion of each round won a prize. We dropped and broke our eggs remarkably fast!

 

About the Easter Egg Hunt

The highlight of the event when it happened (apart from the tasty dinner) was the Easter egg hunt! 2022 was the first time we did an egg hunt ourselves since we were kids. We went with our 19-year-old son and we all had such a great time. It was like we were kids again!

Participants were supposed to take their own flashlights and baskets to collect their eggs in. Most people used the flashlights on their phones. Baskets were also available for purchase, or you could have simply used your pockets if they were big enough.

At the start of the hunt people gathered behind a gate at the entrance to the Barnyard Adventureland play area. It’s a large grassy field that has play structures, old tractors to play on and other farm item displays. Many of the eggs were in plain sight. Special ones, however, were much more difficult to find.

When the organizer shouted “Go!” the crowd of adults raced onto the field in search of the eggs. There were six different colours to find in 2022 including lots of green, yellow, pink and blue eggs all over the place. There were also just nine purple eggs and one golden egg.

How the Egg Hunt Works

In 2022 if you found four eggs of different colours you earned a prize (which was a goodie bag filled with treats). Pretty much everyone won a goodie bag when we went. If you found five eggs, however, so four of the regular colours plus a purple one, you won an even bigger prize. And whoever found the golden egg won the grand prize which was a case of Maan Farms wine!

The egg hunt began at dusk in 2022, so at around 7:45 pm. When we went the hunt continued for about 20 minutes. At the start it was still fairly bright out and the eggs were easy to see. By the end though it had gotten quite dark and flashlights were definitely needed.

After the golden egg was found and everyone collected at least four different coloured eggs, the hunt finished and everyone returned to the main building to collect their prizes. Some people in 2022 headed home soon after this final activity. Others refilled their wine and beer glasses, did some shopping in the Country Kitchen, and continued to have a fun time with their friends.

Other Information

The Bunnies and Booze event was a lot of fun! The food was delicious, as was the wine. The games were a blast and the egg hunt was a riot!

We estimate that the age range of participants when we went was between around 19 and 70-ish with the majority in their mid-20s to early 30s. Regardless of their ages, everyone appeared to have a terrific time!
