Four Easter-themed events and other alternatives to adopting a pet bunny for Easter
Not yet ready for a pet bunny? Do this instead:
Buy a toy bunny
They can be just as cute and soft as the real thing, but they are much easier to care for. Find a plush bunny such as the big brown lop-eared bunnies at Best of Times, 6452 E. Central. The gift shop has posted photos on its Facebook page of Easter themed gifts with an array of bunny items.
Search for “bunny” on the Imagine That Toys website (imaginethattoys.net) and you’ll find plush rabbits in many sizes and colors, games featuring bunny characters, “If I Were a Rabbit” board books and sound and texture books featuring Louis the bunny with a very fluffy tail. They are open for in-store shopping at 2939 N. Rock and also offer virtual appointments and curbside pickup.
Indulge in chocolate
Among the edible creations in Cocoa Dolce’s Easter lineup are the cutest small flop-eared bunnies made with solid milk, white or dark Belgian chocolate and artfully splattered with cocoa butter paint.
Feed bunnies at Tanganyika
The bunny area in the children’s zoo area is one of the eight feeding stations at Tanganyika Wildlife Park just west of Wichita in Goddard. Purchase a feeding wristband in addition to your single-day admission ticket or select a season pass that includes feedings. Check twpark.com for visiting guidelines including required reservations.
