Scavenger hunts, egg hunts and even the Easter bunny are part of the free activities from 10 a.m. to noon April 3 at the Kent Station shopping mall, 417 Ramsay Way.

The scavenger hunt is for children ages 12 and under. Children can get their first egg with the first clue between 10 a.m. and noon at the plaza. Kids will have the chance to collect five clues and six eggs.

Traditional egg hunts are at 11 a.m. for children ages 3 and under and at 11:30 a.m. for kids ages 4 to 6. Both hunts are on the lawn in the plaza.

All eggs are filled with Dilettante chocolates, temporary tattoos, and most eggs have coupons for parents to mall merchants.

Participants can bring their camera for free photos with the Easter bunny.

All children must be accompanied by an adult.

The event is sponsored by the credit union BECU.
