3/17/24 - By Ashley Jones

Capture a few Easter bunny pictures in Houston at one of these Easter brunches or other Easter 2024 events. While traditional Easter Bunny pictures at the mall are always an egg-cellent option, we've also found a variety of Easter Bunny events in Houston that offer more than just your standard four-by-six family keepsake. Think massive Easter egg hunts, crafts and games, and breakfast or Easter brunch with your favorite bunny!

Take Easter Bunny pictures that are a hop above the rest this year, whether that means snapping a classic photo at the mall or incorporating some family fun and food throughout the morning to go along with them.

Check out our Spring Fun Guide for Houston Families for more seasonal fun.
