CMOM’s Easter Egg Hunt

Friday – Sunday, April 18–20

CMOM’s annual egg hunt goes big this year with the Puppet-Palooza Scavenger Hunt: New York Edition! Families will explore the entire museum in search of eight hand-painted puppet Easter eggs, each one inspired by classic NYC kid moments: A yellow cab egg, a skyline egg, a deli picnic egg, a Broadway egg, and yes—an homage to NYC rats!

Each egg was handmade by CMOM staff artists—a celebration of creativity, storytelling, and what it means to grow up in the city.

Kids who complete the hunt receive a prize and enjoy a full lineup of puppet-themed programming across all three floors of the museum.
