Easter, Fantasy Farms and other Events

Easter at Fantasy Farms in Chilliwack

Peteys Easter Eggstravaganza was cancelled in 2020 due to COVID-19. It happened as a drive-through experience in 2021, and then returned with hands-on activities from April 14th to 18th in 2022.

In 2023, Peteys Easter Eggstravaganza ran from Friday, April 7th, until Sunday, April 9th. Daily hours for the event this past year were from 10:00 am until 5:00 pm. Exact dates and details for the event in 2024 are to be confirmed.

Easter Event Activities

In 2023, Peteys Easter Eggstravaganza featured a classic Easter Egg Hunt. It happened in a new maze in 2022. This may or may not have been the case in 2023. In addition, the event usually features miniature train rides, pony rides and arts and crafts. It’s a great family-friendly event!

New for 2023, there were pony rides on the Easter Long Weekend. They cost extra, but are reasonably priced and are a highlight for lots of kids!

What We Like About Peteys Easter Eggstravaganza

There are a number of things we really like about Peteys Easter Eggstravaganza. Not least of which, it’s affordable and good old-fashioned fun.

The event takes place at a farm and there are real farm animals that kids can see and even touch sometimes. There is a train that kids and their families can ride on around the property, and there are indoor activities too (which is nice on rainy days).

Peteys Easter Eggstravaganza is a perfect place for young children and their families to have Easter-themed fun.

Tips & Advice

Below are some suggestions and extra information to help you make the most of your experience at Peteys Easter Eggstravaganza.

TIP #1: Expect to stay for up to a couple of hours (plus or minus). Between the egg hunting, barn, train ride and more, there is a fair bit to keep little folks busy!

TIP #2: If travelling from far away, combine your trip to Peteys Easter Eggstravaganza with a visit to other attractions in the area. The Chilliwack Tulip Festival is only a 15-minute drive away (at 41310 Yale Road). It usually starts up in mid-April, however, so isn’t always operating in time for the Easter Weekend. Harrison Hot Springs is also beautiful this time of year and just 25 kilometres or so north of Fantasy Farms.

TIP #3: Check out some of the other events at Fantasy Farms at other times of the year too. The Easter event is definitely for younger children, as is Petey’s Pumpkin Patch in October and Petey’s Country Christmas in December. Reapers at Halloween, meanwhile, is one of the Lower Mainland’s scariest and most popular haunted houses.

TIP #4: If going to the event, be sure to try some of the barbecue ribs from Guerilla Q if it’s there. If you like pork ribs, you’ll love what Guerilla Q has to offer!
