While the idea came from the pandemic, the candy chute became so popular that the city decided to keep it around.
Dozens of families took advantage of a free Easter egg hunt in Franklin Square Saturday, where instead of searching for eggs, kids got to watch them slide down a chute into their buckets.
"I like them because that was the first time when COVID happened, he was still able to Easter egg hunt because they have the chute," said Katie Meizinger, his mom. "It's not your traditional Easter egg hunt, but kids still really really love the idea of watching the eggs drop into their baskets," said Lesly Attarian, the vice president at Historic Philadelphia.
"Franklin Square is actually the only public green space serving Chinatown, Callowhill, and Old City neighborhoods, so it's really important we're able to give back to the community with this free event," she said.She said for her family, this Easter egg hunt was the perfect find.
