Outside on the Legacy Pointe lawn, families can enjoy Easter egg hunts, pony rides, petting zoo, activities and games planned by the resort’s Legacy Kids counselors, and opportunities to get their photo taken with the Easter Bunny himself. For those guests who wish to make the most of their Easter weekend, Lanier Islands is offering an Easter Celebration Package that includes overnight accommodations, Easter brunch for two adults*, Spring Break savings card and so much more.
Know whats Better than an Easter Egg Hunt a Lakeside Easter Egg Hunt at Lanier Islands“As with all of our holiday events, we endeavor to provide an experience where our guests can simply live in the moment – enjoying great food and great company in a great atmosphere, making memories instead of making an entire holiday spread that they’ll have to clean up afterwards,” said Grier Todd, VP of Hospitality for Lanier Islands. “The same holds true for our Easter Celebration, but it doesn’t begin and end with brunch. We’ll be creating special moments out on the lawn that we hope will live within the memories of everyone from our littlest Easter egg hunters to our more seasoned guests for years to come. This is always a cherished time for all of us at the Islands. We love seeing everyone dressed up in their Sunday best, little ones meeting the Easter Bunny for the first time and kids of all ages searching for eggs within view of the water.”
To start the day on Sunday, April 1, visitors are invited to join Free Chapel and Senior Pastor Jentezen Franklin for an Easter Sunrise Service at Big Beach at 7 a.m. Worshippers will enjoy free gate passage** and beach admission for the service and are encouraged to bring a blanket or chair to celebrate this very special Easter observance on the shores of Lake Lanier.
