Sanrio Puroland is serving its annual “Puro Easter” event once again this spring. Taking on an American oldies taste, this cute-retro combining event will run from March 13 to June 2.
A new show and the return of 2019’s hugely successful “Egg’n’Roll Easter” show
Weekends will see the commencement of the “Easter Bunny Race,” a new show to determine who will take the place as Sanrio Puroland’s number one Easter bunny. You’ll have to turn up to the show to see what rabbit characters will be competing!
Running: March 13, 2020 – June 2, 2020 (Weekends, Public Holidays & School Holidays Only)

Must-eat Sanrio Easter food and desserts
For the Easter season only, Sanrio Puroland is serving up a colourful food and dessert menu, ranging from waffles topped with banana mix ice cream, whipped cream and chocolate sauce; a curry with blue roux and snow-white omelette, and more.
There’s plenty of places to take great photos too, including at the entrance to the third floor of Puroland where there’s a juice box wearing adorable bunny ears. You can take a picture that looks like you’re enjoying a party together with Hello Kitty and the rest of the Sanrio cast.
