    San Diego’s favorite family fun center hosts socially distanced Easter Event

    Big Easter fun is headed to Boomers Vista with an outdoor, socially distanced Easter experience. Beginning Saturday, March 13 and continuing on weekends starting through Easter Sunday, April 4, Boomers Vista will host an Easter event that includes pictures with the Easter Bunny, crafts, prizes, a QR code Easter Egg Scavenger Hunt, and more!

    The outdoor attractions at Boomers Vista recently reopened after a state-mandated closure as part of COVID-19 mitigation efforts. Boomers Vista has provided a safe and enjoyable experience for thousands of visitors, plus hundreds of Team Members, since June 2020, when the family fun center first reopened after the initial outbreak of COVID-19 and subsequent shutdowns.

    “Based on our experience, and the experience of attractions around the country and the world, we know it’s possible to safely offer fun activities even in these challenging times,” says General Manager Garrett Gross.  “Safety is our top priority here at Boomers Vista, and offering this Easter special event for families to help create some happy memories is how we do our part for the community.”

    The event will give guests the opportunity to enjoy the Easter activities for free. The main highlight will be a QR code Easter Egg Scavenger Hunt. Once the guest has found all of the Easter eggs, they will be able to receive a free Easter themed prize pack. Guests can also purchase discounted tickets to enjoy the miniature golf courses, go-karts, and bumper boats on their website at www.boomersvista.com.  The Easter event is the first of four new quarterly events held at the park.  Guests can look forward to a summer event, as well as Halloween and Christmas events in 2021.

    For more information on Boomers Vista, purchase attraction tickets, or to get the latest safety and health information, please go to www.boomersvista.com.
