Easter egg hunts near Chicago have arrived, and, like every year, they're whirlwind moments only parents can truly appreciate. You know, when we line up all our kids along the edge of a soccer field covered in Easter eggs, waiting for the moment when they can dash out and grab as many plastic orbs as possible in 45 stress-filled seconds. 

Some Chicago Easter egg hunts now require little bunnies to register in advance, and some fill up quickly. Also, be aware that not everyone is filling their eggs with candy—some are trading eggs in for prizes instead, so plan in advance if you have a little one just in it for the sugar.
