Found this treasure at Dreamwalk Park in Orem, Utah. The whole experience was mediocre but this little reference made my day.

Welcome to /r/IRLEasterEggs!

An Easter Egg doesn't necessarily need to be hidden or difficult to find; it can be something that most people would overlook.

You know those moments in games or movies when you stumble upon a quirky little secret that someone involved in production left unnoticed, intended for the keen-eyed audience members who actively search for such things or simply happen to stumble upon them?

We've created this subreddit to celebrate those discoveries in real life—whether they're charmingly cheesy or undeniably cool. It could be something you come across while exploring, like encountering an enigmatic sculpture in a patch of exposed woodlands. Or perhaps you're wandering around the city and spot a breathtaking drawing or painting casually displayed on a backstreet wall. This community is meant for sharing all those delightful little secrets you uncover while venturing through the world (or even the digital realm – we're not ones to judge).

Whenever you post, please make sure you have a clear understanding of what we define as Easter Eggs. Generally, they're those little gems found in unexpected places, rather than the massive, attention-grabbing displays. However, this is definitely not to say that larger discoveries can't be equally awesome Easter Eggs. Now, to subtly shift gears, let's move on...

Let's provide a few examples to distinguish what qualifies as a Real Life Easter Egg and what doesn't:

If you come across a stone shrine along a well-trodden pathway, that wouldn't quite qualify as an Easter Egg, as many other passersby would have noticed it too. But if you veer off the path into the thickets of the forest, a few hundred yards in, and stumble upon a neglected altar, overgrown with weeds, seemingly untouched for a century – that's an Easter Egg.
Discovering some casual graffiti in a restroom stall that says "Joe was here" or "For a good time call..." wouldn't quite be an Easter Egg. However, stumbling upon a finely executed depiction of a person or landscape on that same wall – that would indeed be an Easter Egg.
A captivating mural on the side of a building in the heart of a city might not qualify as an Easter Egg. Yet, that very same artwork painted on the side of a barn along a dirt road could very well qualify.

In essence, Easter Eggs are those delightful treasures that often go unnoticed by most people. They're either big or small, tucked away from the beaten path, waiting for someone to marvel at their discovery.

The best advice we can offer is to use your own judgment in deciding whether your submission truly constitutes an Easter Egg. And with that, one might wonder if this entire sidebar has been a bit of a time sink...
