Chocolate eggs, two weeks off school and a bank holiday - the Easter holidays are undoubtedly one of the most exciting times of the year for kids. This year’s Easter break is off to a flying start too, with glorious sunshine and a promising weather forecast for the days ahead.
Trying to fill a fortnight with activities to keep the little ones entertained can be tricky though, so we have put together a guide to some of the best family-friendly activities taking place in Liverpool.
Many are free too, so you can enjoy multiple days out without using up all of your Easter holiday fund in one go.
Take a look at the gallery below to see 11 fantastic things to do around Liverpool, including a huge free Easter egg hunt and a special Bunny Trail trail.
1. Bugtastic fun at Tate Liverpool RIBA North
Between April 5 and 21, you can enjoy bug-themed activities in the Tate's Learning Space at RIBA North. From dragonflies to beetles, take inspiration from the creepy crawlies in Tate’s collection to construct multi-coloured neon replicas of your favourite bugs. Use the materials from our pick 'n' mix recycled craft box to make a 3D model of your bug. | Dominic Raynor
