There are only so many places you can hide your eggs in a house, backyard or neighborhood, but there are several Easter egg hunts and celebrations across O'ahu to enjoy this weekend.

At Pu'unui Park, for example, the Liliha Family Easter Egg Hunt will take place Sunday.

And there will be an Easter celebration and egg hunt Saturday at the Ko'olau Golf range, with food, face painting and inflatable jumping houses.

Throughout the weekend, Windward Mall will offer family photos taken with the Easter Bunny, and you can also check out the live bunnies and other animals at the mall's mini zoo/farm.
