Frequently Asked Questions

Will the Easter Bunny be at this program? No, the Village is not on the Easter Bunny’s trail, but we have lots of other fun spring activities!
Can I get a refund for this program? Due to the cost of producing the program and transaction fees, we can only offer a 50% refund up your request. We do not offer full refunds for this program unless we (the Village) cancels or reschedules the program. We would also be happy to convert your registration into a tax-deductible donation and send a receipt upon request.
Do I need to bring a bag to collect goodies? Thanks to our generous program sponsor, Genisys Credit Union, we will be providing 1 bag per family to carry all your goodies!

Can I bring my dog? Only service animals are allowed at the Village. We strive to make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable, so please leave your pets at home.
How long does it take to go through the event? The average time to go through our Spring Egg Hunt is about 1 to 1.5 hours depending on how much you and your group are engaging in the activities!
Do you have quiet spaces to go if one of my group members needs a sensory break? Yes! Inside the Caswell House on the main floor or upstairs at the Parsonage. You can also ask us when you arrive – THV Staff and volunteers are ready and prepared to try and help accommodate your needs!
What happens if I miss my time slot? Can I still come? Yes! Please do. Our last admission for Friday is 6:50pm, and last admission for Saturday is 2:20pm.
