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:

Easter fun at Whitehead Railway Museum! Visit the picturesque seaside town of Whitehead this Easter to experience the magic of steam and meet our special guest – the Easter Bunny!

11. Easter at Build a Bug hotel
Get stuck in to help create a brand-new bug hotel for Castle Espie this Easter weekend. Building a bug hotel is a great way to help insects like ladybirds, bees and woodlice. It offers them shelter, protects them from predators, and gives them a safe space to raise their young. All of this helps to boost biodiversity and create nature-bursting habitats. At this drop-in session, have a go at stacking pallets, gathering natural materials from the woodland or making the hotel extra comfy by adding sticks, leaves and more. All tools will be provided and the team will be on hand to guide you. Photo: ugc

Discover the fantastical factory of Mrs. Grumpalot in our spellbinding stage show, followed by a fun-filled Easter trail and themed craft activity.
