#Newsflash | Smile! It’s Time to Take a Photo with Bunny

Some rabbits spend their days chewing, digging, foraging, hopping, and sleeping. But others patiently greet children and smile for cameras for hours and hours.

The latter species will participate in Photo with Bunny at The Shops at Atlas Park in Glendale from March 15 to March 30.

The same species started posing last week at Queens Center in Elmhurst, where Photo with Bunny will run until March 30.

Atlas Park

Bunny will be very busy at Atlas Park, so parents are encouraged to pre-book and select a photo package. (Prices runs from $19.99 to $49.99.)

The schedule is March 15, 2 pm to 7 pm; March 16, 11 am to 7 pm; March 17, noon to 6 pm; March 18 to March 23, 11 am to 7 pm; March 24, noon to 6 pm; and March 25 to March 30, 11 am to 7 pm.

The fun will take place near the Claire’s.

Bunny Cares, a special event for children who require an accessible environment and additional assistance, is scheduled for March 17 from 10:30am to noon. Pet Night, when families can bring their four-legged friends for photos, is on March 18 from 4 pm until the shopping center closes.

The Shops at Atlas Park has an entrance at 80-00 Cooper Ave. in Glendale. A large parking lot is on site.

Queens Center

The set-up and operation at Queens Center will take place on Level 3. The scene will be almost the same as the one at Atlas Park.

Queens Center’s entrance is at 90-15 Queens Blvd. A large parking lot is on site, too.

Quick Question

Sounds great. Can’t wait to do it at both venues. But what is this Easter bunny thing? After all, bunnies don’t lay eggs.

Bunnies and eggs were pagan symbols of rebirth and springtime for centuries in Ancient Europe. After Christianity spread through the continent, the Easter tradition and the pagan rituals merged, it’s believed. Then, German immigrants brought the bunny-egg combo to the United States in the 18th century.
