Easter egg hunts rock, except for the part where some kid cracks an egg on the floor or you end up with purple dye all over your face. Avoid all the egg-related hassle and switch to disaster-proof citrus fruits at the Orange Show’s annual Easter Orange Hunt. Kids can roam among the outdoor portions of the museum, checking for fruit by the wagon wheels, steam engines, tractor seats and pond. When they’ve filled their baskets (the Orange Show crew asks that they bring their own), they can check out a show by Austin’s Mr. Puppet. It’s “first-come, first-find,” so show up early. Remember: You’re never too young to be vitamin-filled. Or ironic.
