Easter Bunny Visits Cross Creek Mall Starting March 13

The Easter Bunny arrives at Cross Creek Mall on March 13. Families can visit for free. Photo packages cost money if you want them.

The bunny sets up shop at the Food Court in the Fayetteville shopping center, staying through early April. Kids can walk right up without planning ahead, though parents may book time slots online at the Cross Creek Mall website if they prefer avoiding lines.

Hours shift depending on the day. Monday through Friday, the bunny greets visitors from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., then again from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. On Sundays, times run from noon to 2:30 p.m. and 3 to 6 p.m.

Pet owners get their own special day. Every Monday during the season, dogs and cats can meet the Easter Bunny for pictures. Animals must stay on leashes or inside carriers.

Easter Sunday lands on April 5 this year, and the mall stays closed that day. You'll find the shopping center at 419 Cross Creek Mall off Skibo Road in Fayetteville.
