News & Events
Join Us for our Granby Easter Egg Hunt!
Make plans to be here at the Moffat Museum on Saturday, April 8 by 10 am, as that is when the egg hunt starts! Doors will open at 9:30 am so you can pay your $2 per person admission into the egg hunt and museum, and pick your spot to start the hunt.
There will be a whopping 7,000 eggs and 50 golden eggs to find! If you score a golden egg, bring it inside the Exhibit Hall to pick up your Easter prize. The model trains will be running and you’re welcome to also do the Easter Scavenger Hunt… there are about a dozen Easter additions to the Christmas model train display. The Easter Bunny will also be around to visit with and get your photo taken together.
Then afterwards, we hope you’ll continue with your “family day” and head over to Sun Outdoors (formerly River Run) in Granby to grab some lunch and do some bowling! Just for that afternoon only they will offer 10% off food at the Summit Bar & Grill and bowling for $2 a game.
