Easter Bunny Egg Hunt
What else to do aside from eating? Go for an Egg hunt around the park. We simply have to scan QR codes for hints on where to find them! It was a nice virtual egg hunt and a good break from eating.
Shopping at Taste of Boysenberry Festival
Ghost town has plenty of small boutique stalls that offer rare and handmade items made by gifted artisans and local crafters. There are more shops at the Fiesta Village, The Boardwalk and Camp Snoopy too.
Second Stop: Fiesta Village
The Fiesta Village was colorful and lively, music played all over the place. Our food was not able to get a single shot as my pregnancy hormones were ranging for food.

Last Stop: Back to Ghost Town for some dessert
On our way back to Ghost Town, we grabbed some Boysenberry Smoothie to pair up with our Flavored Funnel Cake with Boysenberry Ice Cream, a Lemon Drizzle, and White Chocolate Sprinkles.
The portions are filling and if you didn't get to finish all the tasting cards, simply ask for a foil wrap and order your favorite ones to take home with you or you can also pay for it. We brought home two Elote covered with Boysenberry Mayo, Cotija Cheese, Butter, and Tortilla Strips. Bam! Have fun and be safe ^__^
