The World’s Largest Egg Hunt @ Copper Mountain
I guess this event isn’t exactly “in or around Denver” but I figured an event that calls itself “The World’s Largest Egg Hunt” might be worth including and from Denver the drive to Copper Mountain is about an hour and a half.
Copper’s Easter Egg Hunt has increased from 50,000 to 65,000 eggs! New this year, 15,000 eggs are plant-based biodegradable. As part of the reduce, reuse, recycle movement, Copper encourages participants to turn empty eggs back in to be re-loaded for reuse in future years. Hallmark will provide a small prize to the first 400 kids who recycle their eggs. There are different hunts for kids of all ages from 3 and under in Copper’s Center Village to adults in an on-mountain hunt to include the resort’s Sherpa app.
