Caring Bunny Events & Pet Photo Night
Woodfield Mall also provides an opportunity for those with all spectrums of special needs and their families to enjoy this time-honored holiday tradition through a sensory-friendly Caring Bunny events in association with Autism Speaks. Caring Bunny will occur on two consecutive Sundays, March 31 and April 7, from 8 am to 10 am, prior to mall opening.

During Caring Bunny events, many steps are 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 with a numbering system whereby guests approach the set when their number is called.
• Special activities geared toward the needs of guests during the 'wait' period.

Guests can register in advance at simon.com/caringbunny. Woodfield Mall's Bunny Photo Experience will also share the heart of the Easter Bunny by collecting donations for Autism Speaks throughout the season.

The popular Pet Photo Night returns to the Easter Bunny Photo Experience at Woodfield Mall this year. Many pet owners view their pet as an integral member of the family and are just as committed in caring for their pets as their human family members. Pet Photo nights are hosted after regular mall closing and the set gets an extensive cleaning following the event to remove any potential risk to allergy sufferers. Pet Photo Night at Woodfield Mall will be on Sunday, March 24, from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm.
