Want to make the most of the long weekend but also want to stick to low-cost or free activities? We have gathered a list of budget-friendly activities to get you started.
The Easter long weekend is a great time to get stuck into some activities that make your heart happy. Luckily, New Zealand is an enormous playground with a plethora of activities that are either free or budget-friendly.
If you are stuck for what to do, we have put together 5 budget-friendly or free activities to dive into this Easter weekend.
1. Easter Egg Scavenger Hunt
The all-time Easter classic. Hide some Easter eggs around your garden, or in the nooks and crannies of your local park, and have the kids go ahead and hunt them down. You could make the hunt a bit more challenging by creating clues for your kids to follow such as riddles or puzzles to solve. A great way to get those brains spinning and keep everyone busy and it only costs the price of the Easter eggs.
2. Picnic in the Park
Pack your favourite lunch and snacks into a cooler bag, chilly bin, or picnic basket and make your way to your local park. Whether that be one flanked by bush or overlooking a stunning New Zealand beach. You could enjoy a picnic with the kids, or just with your group of friends.
3. Have a Movie Day
This is an especially cosy activity if the weather turns for the worst this Easter weekend. Grab your blankets, put the popcorn in the microwave, and snuggle up for a day or an afternoon of switching off your brain, and taking an adventure in the shoes of another character. Don’t forget to compare broadband plans to see if there is a better deal out there to suit your streaming needs. You never know, if you switch to a new broadband plan, you may get to enjoy joining perks such as a free year subscription to a streaming service. How good?
