But as we do it is always good to plan a number of days out near to home.
From egg rolling to chasing mini-bugs to exploring museums.
Here are some ideas to get you started from DiscoverNorthernIreland.com:
5.
From Easter Sunday to Tuesday 22nd April, take part in Easter traditions from egg rolling to heritage craft demonstrations at the Folk Museum. Discover the origins of the Easter egg, have a go at our themed craft station and meet our talented makers as they demonstrate heritage skills - including Easter card making in our Print Shop. Get involved with traditional games, try tasty food samples and listen to live music. Planning your visit for Easter Monday (21st April)? The Folk Museum will have Ferguson Memorial Pipe Band playing throughout the day, and a craft workshop with Annan's Arch based on the mischievous creature from Gaelic folklore - the Púca! Plus everyone's favourite Easter activity - egg rolling on the Bleach Green. Photo: ugc
6. Easter 'Eggspress' Downpatrick
The Easter Bunny is visiting the Downpatrick & County Down Railway again Easter Sunday and Monday, and his goal is simple: make sure all the children have a great day with their trains and come away with a chocolate Easter Egg. There's also a fun word hunt, and face painting in the station included in your ticket price. Photo: ugc
