Forget pastel colors and back yard snooze-fests: we’re bringing the traditional egg hunt to life with neon decorations, UV face paint and eggs that glow-in-the-dark! The Science Museum of Western Virginia and Macaroni Kid Roanoke are teaming up to throw Roanoke’s most ‘egg-stravagant’ egg hunt of the year. Make sure you get your tickets early as this is a sell-out event; you do not want to miss out and be left with egg on your face!
See inside the museum and learn more about what to expect thanks to our friends at Living Local
This neon egg-stravaganza will see egg hunters canvass the entire 4th floor of the Science Museum as it is transformed into an egg-hunter’s adventure paradise with over 1000 glow-in-the-dark eggs! We encourage all hunters to wear bright colors that will light up under the black lights and create an even more awesome experience!
Every egg will include a small, age-appropriate prize and special prizes will be available to hunters who find one of 10 GOLDEN EGGS during the hunt!
