At nearly 200 Simon malls across the country, children can take a photo on a colorful set with the legendary Easter Bunny and a life-sized standee of E.B., the rabbit from the movie HOP who dreams of becoming a rock star drummer. Families will enjoy a sneak peek of the HOPBlu-ray™/DVD while waiting to pose for a picture and receive an engaging HOP activity sheet after capturing their sensational Easter snapshot.

To celebrate the HOP Blu-ray™/DVD launch date on March 23, kids will have the chance to receive an adorable HOP plush character given away randomly every hour, at the top of the hour during the Easter Photo Experience event, taking place from ) 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Families can visit www.simon.com for additional Easter Photo Experience schedule details.

The Simon Kidgits Club will also host a special event on Sunday, March 25, where kids can create their own Easter drum set and jam out to the catchy tune “I Want Candy” at the mall, just like HOP’s hilarious rockin’ rabbit E.B., and participate in various activities including crafts & coloring sheets, enjoy dancing & music Cubey Entertainment, and participate in a mall-wide Easter Egg hunt. Kids will receive terrific take-home treats, including a set of pencil drumsticks (while supplies last), HOP stickers and an activity sheet. There will also be a special visit from the Easter bunny himself!

The Simon Kidgits Club is a fun and informative program that focuses on health, wellness, education, safety and entertainment for children ages 3-8. Since 2003, the Simon Kidgits Club has kept children and parents alike amused with various events and activities while providing incentives for club members, such as special offers, rewards and games.
