The annual Bunnyland festival is open on weekends from 9 a.m.-6 p.m., March 28 through April 12. (It’s closed Easter Sunday.) Tots can also visit with farm animals and barnyard bunnies—and, for an extra fee, get their faces painted, go for a pony ride or drive a mini digger. Admission is $13.50-$16.50 online or $15-18 at the gate. Reservations are strongly encouraged, as they sell out. 22222 Davis Mill Road, Germantown, Maryland
