Family Easter on the Alabama Gulf Coast

Easter Weekend Fun in Gulf Shores & Orange Beach

Gulf Shores and Orange Beach aren’t just great for adult relaxation—they’re packed with Easter fun for kids, too. From Easter egg hunts to bunny meet-and-greets, the weekend is filled with family-friendly activities and coastal celebrations.

What Families Can Expect

  • Easter egg hunts
  • Easter Bunny photos
  • Live music & food
  • Beautiful gardens
  • Train rides

All weekend long, families will find festive events, outdoor fun, and coastal traditions that make Easter on the Gulf Coast extra memorable.

Easter at The Wharf

The Wharf in Orange Beach is always lively, but Easter Weekend brings even more excitement. The Easter Bunny visits the Marina Lawn from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. for photos with kids, and a free Easter egg hunt begins at 11 a.m. on the Saturday before Easter every year.

The lawn is divided by age groups—including a 6–10 section—and over 5,000 eggs are hidden across the field. Other family activities include giant coloring sheets, moonwalks, bounce houses, face painting, live music, and even real bunnies to pet. Make a day of it with a family meal at one of The Wharf’s many restaurants.

More Local Easter Events

At Lulu’s in Gulf Shores, families enjoy an annual Easter Sunday egg hunt at 2 p.m., divided by age to keep the hunt fun and fair. Over at The Hangout on the Gulf Shores beachfront, an Easter sunrise service begins at 6:30 a.m. and is followed by live Christian rock and a hearty breakfast.

Kids also love The Hangout’s sand pit, foam parties, courtyard games, and live entertainment. Families can also check the schedule at the Flora-Bama Lounge, which often hosts an Easter celebration featuring an egg hunt, family games, live music, and—of course—a visit from the Easter Bunny.

Ride the Cottontail Express

Wales West Light Railway in Silverhill transforms into the Cottontail Express each Easter season. Families board a real steam train and ride through the park to meet the Easter Bunny. Tickets are $15 per person, and kids two and under ride free.

Beyond the train ride, little ones can enjoy pony rides, a petting zoo, treats, refreshments, an Easter egg hunt, and live bluegrass or gospel music on Fridays. Wales West is about 45 minutes north of Gulf Shores—an easy, festive day trip for families.

Spring Gardens at Bellingrath

Easter is a beautiful time to visit Bellingrath Gardens just across Mobile Bay. The 65-acre estate features mature oak trees, reflective pools, seasonal blooms, and more than 250,000 vibrant azaleas that peak in March.

Families can check their schedule for seasonal Easter activities, but even without eggs and bunnies, the gardens captivate visitors of all ages with color, fragrance, and stunning natural scenery.
