When I was little, we would spend a quiet Easter Sunday at home. Nothing fancy, just special home cooked meals prepared by my mother. This year, I wanted to shake things up a bit and decided to try something new. So I did a bit of research and came across this event:

And so we did.
When I arrived at the venue, I got shocked to see a lot of people. I thought the tickets were supposed to be limited? There weren't a lot of chairs, so most people would just sit on the floor.
For the main event, we waited in line for about 15 minutes before we were ushered into the activity area. There were three "pens", and each can accommodate 10 kids (with their parents). I imagined it would be a larger area. I was also disappointed to learn that the whole "egg hunt" will be done in a small space and within 45 seconds! And I only got 3 eggs :(
I'm not an events planner, but there's a lot of things to improve here:
- Gather relevant information before the event (pre-registration)
- Well-defined activity area.
- Chairs please. We can't stand for 3 hours, not with a toddler in tow.
- They should clearly define the target age group in their ads.
Maybe we were expecting too much. But I didn't think it was worth the price I paid (950 for a kid and 3 adults). We all agreed not to join this event again.
