Texas wildfowers are in bloom, the weather is gorgeous, and you know what that means: it’s time to track down the Easter Bunny!
Getting that perfect photo whether it’s of a grinning toddler, an awkward teenager, or even the family dog—is a timeless Alamo City tradition. San Antonio is buzzing with places to meet the bunny in 2026. From the classic “mall bunny” experience to outdoor photo ops that let the whole family run wild, we’ve rounded up the best spots for you to get your hop on.
Here is your ultimate guide to finding the Easter Bunny around San Antonio!

💡 Pro-Tips for Your Bunny Pics
-
Check for Pet Nights! Yes, you can bring Fido. Most malls (check the booking links above) host specific “Pet Nights,” usually on Mondays or Tuesdays, where your dog or cat can get in on the action.
-
Sensory-Friendly Options: Many locations, especially the malls, dedicate specific times for sensory-friendly bunny visits. These times usually feature lower lighting and no music. Check the individual location websites for scheduling “Caring Bunny” slots.
-
Dress for the Photo: Coordinate colors! Pastels (light blues, pinks, greens, and yellow) look fantastic against the vibrant colors of the typical Easter set (and against the wildfowers outside!).
Happy hopping, San Antonio!
