Easter at the Bunker

Ottawa, ON

Saturday, April 19, 2025 | $13 per person; Infants 2 and under are free

Spring has sprung! Join us underground at the Diefenbunker for some springtime family fun.

You’re invited to explore our four-storey Cold War bunker while searching for signs of spring. Participate in our scavenger hunt for camouflaged Easter eggs and flowers, decorate a butterfly or an egg at our craft station, and find small treats along the way.

This year, our groundhog Bunker Buddy, Pudge, has brought a friend! Keep an eye out for a special visitor looking to collect the eggs they left behind.

Hop on over to the Diefenbunker — we’re egg-cited to see you!

Date: Saturday, April 19, 2025

Time: 10:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.

  • Entry time slots are every 30 minutes beginning at 10:00 a.m.
  • The last entry time is 2:00 p.m. and the museum closes at 3:00 p.m.
  • Please arrive during your scheduled entry time. If you miss your entry time, you may need to wait outside the museum due to capacity limits.

Admission:

  • $13 per person; Infants 2 and under are free.
  • Tickets must be purchased in advance, as there are designated entry time slots and limited spots available.
  • Parking is always free!

Details:

  • Upon arrival, you will receive information on the activities.
  • All items on the scavenger hunt are visual and do not involve picking up or holding any objects. There are no physical eggs or chocolates in the scavenger hunt. Any treats provided are found at activity stations throughout the museum (nut-free, and while supplies last).
  • Please note that the multiple levels, stairs, and narrow hallways in the Diefenbunker can make the museum difficult to navigate with a stroller. We recommend bringing a baby carrier instead, if this is a feasible option for you. Learn more about accessibility.

*The museum will not be open for general admission on this day; only to those with tickets for Easter at the Bunker.
