As the Rockford area begins to set its sights on spring, here is one big thing we have to look forward to: the arrival of the Easter Bunny at CherryVale Mall!

Too Soon For Easter?

As a mom of two daughters who is still finding rogue Halloween and Christmas candy wrappers in my children's coat pockets, I am ill prepared for the fact it is time to start thinking about egg hunts and boiling 5 dozen eggs without cracking half of them...But here we are.

I swear we just finished taking down Christmas lights, but the truth is the Easter Bunny is officially arriving at the CherryVale Mall soon, and your kids will be upset if you don't reserve the date on calendar now.

The Easter Bunny's Arrival at the CherryVale Mall

I think most parents would agree that there’s something exciting about seeing the Easter Bunny set up shop at the CherryVale Mall. For me it’s the unofficial kickoff to spring and the promise that winter will soon be behind us.

My kids are nearing the "too cool for the bunny" stage of their lives, but I guarantee they will never be "too cool" to wake up Easter morning excited to see what the Bunny brought for them. This means Mommy can still force them to take their traditional Bunny picture, and bribe them for good behavior with jellybeans.

Here’s everything you need to know about visiting the Easter Bunny at CherryVale Mall:

  1. Visiting the Easter Bunny is free, but you have to purchase a photo package to take a picture with him.
  2. The Easter Bunny will be available for meet and greets every day starting March 11 through April 4.
  3. Mondays are pet friendly days, so bring your fur baby to get a pic with the Easter Bunny.
  4. Photo reservation times can be made in advance, but are not required.

Have fun picking out the cute outfits and practicing cute smiles with your children...the Easter Bunny is looking forward to seeing them soon!
