Crystal Mall to Host Caring Bunny Event

The annual special event with the Easter Bunny takes place on Sunday, March 13. Children who need a subdued environment are invited.

Crystal Mall in Waterford, CT, will host the annual Caring Bunny event on Sunday, March 13th from 10:00a.m. – 11:00a.m. in the mall's Sears Court (Level 1), offering families that have children with special needs a subdued environment to participate in the Bunny Photo Experience. Many steps will be taken to reduce sensory triggers, creating a more comforting environment for children’s cherished visit with the Bunny, including (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.

Families can reserve a spot at Caring Bunny by visiting http://crystalmall.eventbrite.com/.
