Easter is upon us, which means it is time for egg hunts, visits with the Easter bunny, brunches and more. Here are some of the best events in the Cleveland area this year if you’d like to stay in the city, brunch at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo or egg hunt at The Cleveland Botanical Gardens. You may even hit the waters of Lake Erie on an Easter cruise, enjoy a rollerskating party with your friends and family or head out to the country for a more rustic egg hunt. Either way, there is something to suit everyone on this year’s list.
