(Watertown, NY) Easter arrives on Sunday, April 5, 2026, and families are invited to celebrate in a calm, welcoming environment during a Bunny Cares sensory-friendly Bunny visit at Salmon Run Mall.

Bunny Cares events are carefully designed with sensory needs in mind. Adjustments include reduced crowds, softer lighting, and lowered or eliminated background music. Families can reserve timed sessions online to minimize wait times, and both Bunny and on-site staff receive specialized training to ensure a patient, supportive experience for every guest.
One parent shared, “Having a sensory-friendly Bunny visit makes such a difference for our family. My child was able to meet Bunny without feeling overwhelmed, and that moment meant everything to us.”
“We’re proud to partner with Cherry Hill Programs to bring Bunny Cares to Salmon Run Mall,” said Karla Noftsier, Marketing Director. “This event reflects our commitment to creating inclusive experiences and ensuring every family feels welcome during the Easter season.”
Guests of all abilities are encouraged to attend. While Bunny Cares visits are free to experience, professional photo packages will be available for purchase. Families can learn more and reserve a sensory-friendly Bunny Cares time slot at whereisbunny.com or directly through the Bunny Cares Link
Visits and photos with the Bunny are available through Saturday, April 4th. For Bunny hours, photo registration and more Bunny events, visit www.whereisbunny.com.
