Easter Bunny Comes To The Quaker Bridge Mall March 25

LAWRENCEVILLE, NJ — Easter kicks off early at the Quaker Bridge Mall with a variety of traditional and unique seasonal events.

The Bunny Photo Experience runs from Saturday, March 25-Saturday, April 15 in the Center Court. Children will have the chance to meet and have their picture taken with the Easter Bunny, fill out a fun-filled activity sheet, receive a custom holiday headband from the movie “Sing” and watch highlights from the movie.

Families will be able to save time and avoid the line with Bunny by Appointment, an online reservation amenity at simon.noerrbunny.com.

Gymboree and Universal Pictures are sponsoring the event.

The Easter Bunny arrives at the mall on Saturday, March 25, 1 p.m. Families will have the chance to help welcome him and enjoy Easter crafts and activities.

On Sunday, April 9, it’s the pet’s turn to meet the Easter Bunny, at Pet Photo Night with the Easter Bunny, 6:30 p.m.-8 p.m.

“We love to hold family-friendly events and we always look forward to watching children interact with the Bunny at Easter,” Quaker Bridge Mall Director of Marketing and Business Development Christopher Dudley.

Quaker Bridge Mall’s Caring Bunny event will offer families that have children with special needs a subdued environment to participate in the Bunny Photo Experience.

Caring Bunny, the largest program of its kind, has been developed by parent company Simon and is guided by AbilityPath.org, a national online resource hub and special needs community.

Over 90 Simon properties will host the Caring Bunny this season. Promotional assistance for Caring Bunny has been provided by Autism Speaks.

On Sunday, March 26, 8 a.m. to 10 a.m., many steps will be taken to reduce sensory triggers, creating a more comforting environment for children’s cherished visit with the Bunny. The subdued environment is likely to include (specific elements or aesthetics may vary):

• Turning off in-mall music, stopping escalators located near the photo set, dimming the lights and shutting down fountains for the duration of the event.
• Eliminating queue lines through the use of a numbering system whereby guests approach the set when their number is called.
• Special activities geared toward the needs of the child during the ‘wait’ period to help the child understand what activities will occur during the visit.
