Finding the Eggs

There are a few ways to locate the first 10 eggs: 

1. Geocaching.com or the Geocaching App

The eggs are posted as ’traditional caches’ on geocaching.com. You may download the app or register online for a free account. A paid annual subscription is available through geocaching.com, but is not required to view the Great Easter Egg Hunt caches.

The individual GPS coordinates for the caches will be posted below. You may use the GPS application of your choice to locate the caches and then travel to the site to find them.

We recommend Google Earth or Google Maps.
