Kids can search for plastic Easter eggs that Angora Gardens clients, who receive social and mental rehabilitation, fill with candy and hide. Kids will get a treat bag and a complimentary beverage at the event, which has free admission. Kids can get their faces painted, make crafts and get pictures taken with the Easter Bunny. Live rabbits available for adoption from Rabbit Wranglers will be there. Angora Gardens is at 3 Muse Lane in White Oak. Reservations are required. Details: 412-675-8556

-- If a child has autism or another disability, Ross Park and South Hills Village malls on Sunday are offering a chance for the kids to have quiet time with the Easter Bunny. The Caring Bunny event at Ross Park -- presented by Autism Connection of PA, a program of ABOARD (Advisory Board on Autism and Related Disorders) -- is from 9 to 11 a.m. at the two malls. The event takes place before the mall stores open, so kids can enjoy a photo session with the famous rabbit in an environment without lines, crowds or loud music. Reservations are recommended. The South Hills Village mall event is presented by the Autism Society of Pittsburgh. To make reservations for the South Hills Village event, call 412-856-7223.
