Children ages 2 to 6 are invited to visit our gentle big Bunny for photos and fun, make colorful spring crafts, pet real rabbits and chicks, and go on a parade through the garden, which will end with a “stuffed bunny hunt."

San Diego Botanic Garden’s Spring Party with Bunny brings all of the quintessential spring themes to one place for your children to interact with and enjoy. Children will create a variety of spring themed crafts including making their own bunny ears to wear at the party, along with their face being painted with a pink nose and whiskers to match. They will paint a ceramic flower with shiny washable tempera paint and decorate it with glitter, and make a felt and paper caterpillar collage.

Spring is the time for new growth and sprouting flowers; at this spring party each child will plant their own beautiful flowering plant in a pot to take home. Don’t forget to get a treat from our gentle big Bunny and take a picture with the Bunny. Finish the party by going on a bunny parade through the Native Plant Native People Loop and find a stuffed bunny to take home.

The Spring Party with Bunny wouldn’t be complete without soft, cuddly, and cute bunnies and chickens. A group of bunnies and chicks will be at each party giving the children a chance to see and touch these adorable animals. Plus enjoy our special parrot guests Princess, Uh-O, and Dustynne.
