10 Reasons not to be bored this Easter!
Montecasino is in full Celebrazione mode this Easter, and is pulling out the stops to deliver a non-stop playground for fun-lovers, food and drink aficionados, entertainment seekers, gaming enthusiasts, and the young at heart. Our approach remains to guarantee something for everyone. Montecasino’s list of top 10 things to do in the Easter holidays is not comprehensive – because there’s always something more to do – but it is inspiring.

Sound Of Music opens at the Teatro on 31 March. It’s the world’s most popular musical and it’s a chance to enjoy the performance of timeless classics such as My favourite things, Climb Every Mountain, Sixteen going on seventeen, The lonely goatherd, and many more. Take the whole family and then take in an after-show meal at one of our restaurants.
The Easter playground will feature six giant inflatables for jumping fun for adults and kids alike.
The Nerf Zone will offer great excitement to battle-hungry warriors of all ages – yes, adults too!
Visit one – or more – of the five new restaurants, which offer a fantastic selection of cuisines and flavours to tempt the palate and deliver exciting new culinary experiences – the Hussar Grill world-class steak house; Casa Bella, which deliciously fuses Italian heritage with contemporary finesse; the fun, fabulous and flavourful La Rosa Mexican Grille and Tequileria; Ocean Basket, for the best in fish and seafood; and the Fireroom, for excitement, sushi, and a tantalising taste of Oriental fusion.
The Montecasino Bird Gardens are always a treat with its exotic menagerie of beautiful birds, reptiles, and mammals – and well worth a visit. But this Easter there’s more on the Bird Gardens calendar. On Sunday 1 April at 11:30am and 1:30pm there will be treasure hunts for 200 children at each event, with the Easter Bunny and Beacon in attendance giving away sweets and Easter eggs.
