The Bunny Photo Experience begins March 13, and runs through April 4, 2015 in Center Court. Kids will have the chance to visit with the Bunny and take home a treasured snapshot of the fun occasion.

The presenting sponsor for the 2015 Bunny Photo Experience is The Gymboree Corporation – including its Gymboree and Crazy 8 clothing brands and Gymboree Play & Music Centers.

“We love to hold family-friendly events and we always look forward to watching children interact with the Bunny at Easter,” said Alexa O’Rourke, director of marketing and business development at Jefferson Valley Mall.

Jefferson Valley 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 is guided by AbilityPath.org, a national online resource hub and special needs community. Promotional assistance for Caring Bunny has been provided by Autism Speaks.

On Sunday, March 29 from 9:00 a.m. to 10:30 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.
  

The Kidgits Club® will also host a special Easter event on Saturday, March 21 from 8:30 to 10:00 a.m., where kids can participate in various Easter activities and games and receive a special Easter keepsake to take home.

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