Easter Bunny Making Appearances at Westfield Malls

Peter Cottontail’s soaking up Florida’s sunny weather before his big Easter Sunday trek, but that doesn’t mean he won’t take time out to meet with Bay area children.

Patch has it on good authority the Easter Bunny himself is available for photos and meet-and-greets now through April 4 at Tampa Bay area Westfield mall locations.

Families who want to meet the big guy can do so between 10 a.m. and 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday at Westfield Citrus Park, Countryside and Brandon. On Sundays he’s available from noon until 6 p.m. at Citrus Park and Countryside. His hours in Brandon on Sundays are 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.

To find him, just hop on over to:

• Westfield Brandon, 459 Brandon Town Center, in the Bunny Garden near Center Court
• Westfield Citrus Park, 8021 Citrus Park Town Center, in the Bunny Garden near JCPenney
• Westfield Countryside, 27001 U.S. Highway 19 N., Suite 1039, in the Butterfly Garden on level one near JCPenney
