Fort Walton Beach gears up for family fun with Bunny Hop Trail and Construction Junction events this weekend
Fort Walton Beach, Florida – With two interesting community activities designed for families and children, Fort Walton Beach this weekend promises an explosion of family enjoyment. Starting Friday, April 11, the 2025 Bunny Hop Trail will be followed by the Construction Junction on Saturday, April 12.
Running from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the Preston Hood Athletic Complex, the Bunny Hop Trail is a one-of-a-kind “trick-or-treat” style event. As families stroll along the walking trail, children will be greeted with various fun-filled stations where they can engage in activities such as bounce houses and face painting. A special photo booth will be available for kids to capture their memories with the Easter Bunny, adding to the joy and making it a great place for a family portrait during the holiday.
From the fanciful to the informative, the next day’s event, Construction Junction, will take place at the Okaloosa County Fairgrounds from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Arranged by the Fort Walton Beach Police Department, this event provides a hands-on opportunity for both children and adults to investigate a wide range of construction equipment and heavy trucks. From police cars and military trucks to tow trucks and helicopters, the variety of machinery is likely to fascinate people of all ages.

Apart than looking at the cars, there will be many of interactive events. Children can participate in safety-related activities that are both informative and interesting or climb a sand mountain made especially for digging. Many may find joy in the Home Depot “Kids Crew,” where kids can plunge into construction tasks using specially crafted kits they can put together and take home.
The first hour of Construction Junction will be sensory friendly, with no horns or sirens activated to accommodate guests who are sensitive to loud noises, therefore guaranteeing that everyone may enjoy the event pleasantly. Furthermore, complimentary drinks and food will be offered, so enhancing the communal setting of the day.
Reflecting the dedication of the community to provide available family enjoyment and educational possibilities, both activities are free to the public. These activities give the community an opportunity to gather in a lively and inclusive environment as well as fun and learning opportunities. From sitting in the driver’s seat of a big truck to taking a picture with the Easter Bunny, Fort Walton Beach is the place to be this weekend for family-oriented fun and education.
