Easter 2019 At Livingston Mall: Bunny Photos, Special Needs Event

LIVINGSTON, NJ — Livingston Mall will be holding its annual Easter celebration, featuring photo opportunities with the Easter Bunny, from Friday, March 29 to Saturday, April 20.

According to a news release from the mall, visitors can make online reservations for their “magical moments” with the bunny here. Learn more about the 2019 Easter celebration at Livingston Mall here.

The Bunny Photo Experience begins March 29 at 10 a.m. on the lower level in Center Court. Kids will have the chance to visit with the Bunny and take home a treasured snapshot of the fun occasion.

“We love to hold family-friendly events and we always look forward to watching children have fun with the Bunny at Easter,” said Amanda Anderson, area director of marketing at Livingston Mall.

SENSORY-FRIENDLY EVENT

This year, Livingston Mall will provide an opportunity for people with all spectrums of special needs and their families to enjoy this time-honored holiday tradition through a “sensory-friendly Caring Bunny event” in association with Autism Speaks.

Caring Bunny will occur on March 31 at 10 a.m. prior to the mall opening. Guests can register in advance at www.simon.com/caringbunny. Livingston Mall Bunny Photo Experience will also share the heart of the Easter Bunny by collecting donations for Autism Speaks throughout the season.

On March 31 at 10 a.m., steps will be taken to reduce sensory triggers, creating a more comforting environment for children’s visit with the Bunny. According to the mall, the subdued environment is likely to include:

• 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 guests during the ‘wait’ period.

PET PHOTO NIGHT

The popular Pet Photo Night returns to the Easter Bunny Photo Experience at Livingston Mall this year.

According to the mall:

“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 Livingston Mall for 2019 will take place on April 7 at 7 p.m.

EASTER EGG HUNT

Livingston Mall will host an Easter Egg Hunt on April 20 at 9:45 a.m.

The egg hunt will be followed by a Disney activation including an on-site face painter and light bites and refreshments on the lower level in Center Court, the mall stated in a news release.
