Shame on you Sprayberry! I have never seen so many children as upset as I have today. Children left with nothing and were crying. It was so unorganized. You should rethink this next year. I have been going to the egg drop for 7 years and this was the WORST. First the helicopter dropped eggs on the crowd, not the field. Then you had 4-7 year olds getting eggs at one time and the parents were getting eggs instead of the kids. Only one gate was opened to enter and exit. I have a feeling next year you will not have as many participants. So disappointing!
Wow! I so remember that disaster in 2015. The helicopter dropped the Easter eggs right on our heads . Kids were crying and so disappointed with the whole event. We never returned.
I’m here now!!2018 it’s horrible!!! I will never do this again!
Awful, the staff who coordinates the logistics and culture of this event should be ashamed of themselves. I thought my ten year old would be fine for the Easter egg hunt, nope. Many of the parents encourage aggressive behavior. My daughter was pushed down by a mother and other kids grabbed eggs out of her hands. She came out sobbing with 0 eggs collected. Not worth a 30 minute drive.
Get the %$!&ing parents not off the field and manage logistics better. Companies sponsoring this type of “family fun” should step away from this event. You’re supporting violence towards children.
Parents – do yourself the favor of participating in something else, … unless you like Black Friday shopping at Walmart and the culture that comes with that. Fairly identical.
My babies and I have been attending this Easter event in particular for yearsss, we’ve had lots of fun each time and go back every year. I’m surprised at the comments ☹️. I think my only complaint is the price of the all day play stamp to jump- because I have 5 kids But overall, We have beautiful pictures, memories and fun every year. Even in the RAIN ☔️
I google the date of the event about a month before every year to make sure we don’t miss it. Bring a blanket to lay out on the grass or bleachers and relax/eat while your babies play. They have multiple Easter hunts for dif ages throughout the day, but I see people arrive very late and miss out
Upon arriving, there’s an Easter bunny to get pics with, stands for food and snacks, jumpy houses, lotsss of space for kids to run wild, music to vibe, space to relax, and the best part- the helicopter drop.
We look forward to this event every year! The kids love it.
Will there be a helicopter egg drop at 3:30 also?? Or just at 11:30 and 1:30?? Thank you.
I have a 23 yr old, 18 year old and 11 year old now. This was a tradition for them for over a decade. They are bigger now but I will continue this with my grandkids. Initially it was unorganized but it got better over time. People need to consider it is FREE,!!!! Get there early BEFORE the open time.

What a disaster. Parents were getting more eggs than the kids. Never again.
Shame on the parents! Not a single egg fetched for my child. Parents ignoring the guidelines where to stand safely, shoving other children so their own could be first. I saw teenagers/parents with a plethora of eggs and not a care in the world it wasn’t their turn and many more children like my own that got nothing at all.
This honestly needs to be a paid event for attendance to keep those out that ruin it for others.
Yes! I agree with the people above! My kids didn’t get ONE egg.. the crowd was such a mob!! My kids were crying. Horrible planning.
We go every year. We love it. My kids always give out some of their eggs to kids every year.. i see people coming late. This events starts on time. i ro wish that the were seperated by age like under 10. But Ibam sure that a lot or organizing goes into this. We appreciate you.
Went this year and can assure parents they have made a lot of improvements from years past. There’s now a separate area for little kids so they don’t have to compete with big kids, and they take safety seriously. Overall impressed with the organization and grateful that they do all this without an entry fee! There are several bouncy houses which are pay to play but you can pay $10 for unlimited rides which I thought was very fair.
