Cabela’s Easter Bunny will arrive on Saturday, April 5, but he won't be there every day.
Cabela's has officially announced the 2025 schedule for the Easter Bunny. The photo sessions start two weekends before Easter (Saturday and Sunday, April 5 - 6) and then pick back up April 12:
Saturday, April 5: 5 p.m. - 8 p.m.
Sunday, April 6: 11 a.m. - 4 p.m.
Saturday, April 12: 5 p.m. - 8 p.m.
Sunday, April 13: 11 a.m. - 4 p.m.
April 14 - 10: 5 p.m. - 8 p.m.
Easter Sunday, April 20: 11 a.m. - 3 p.m.
KCL TIP: Since Bass Pro Shops owns Cabela’s, you’ll also find the Easter Bunny at Bass Pro Shops. Use their website to find a location near you.
You don't need a reservation, but you can avoid a long wait by reserving a time in advance — reservations open March 29.
Just like with Cabela’s free Santa photos, the free Easter photos are always a big hit, which means big crowds, especially if you show up on a Saturday or Sunday. To cut down on your wait time, book an appointment in advance on Cabela’s website or app, and try to visit on a weekday if you can, when crowds are lighter. Reservations open on March 29 (but remember that the free photo opportunity won't start until April 5).
Time slots open up a week in advance. You can only make one reservation per family, but your “family” can include up to eight people in a photo. Reservations for Cabela’s Easter Bunny photo sessions tend to fill up fast, but if you don’t get one, don’t worry. Cabela’s will accept walk-ins, and you can avoid long lines by showing up as soon as the sessions start.
KCL TIP: In my experience, the standby line moves pretty steadily. Without a reservation, plan for a 20- to 30-minute wait.
You’ll get a free printed 4×6 photo with the Easter Bunny, plus freebies for the kids.
Each family gets a free 4×6 printed photo to take home, and each child will receive a free Easter egg while supplies last. Additional offerings and activities may vary from store to store. In years past, Cabela’s offered in-store Easter egg hunts too.
And if you’ve been to a Cabela’s before, you know the store itself has other fun things to see and do, like live fish feedings and mounted animals throughout the store. So even if you get stuck in line without a reservation — and your little ones get antsy — they can stay entertained while one of you holds your spot in line.
Additional photo prints (or the digital file) will cost you $15 – $25.
While each family gets a free 4×6 photo print to take home at the end of the visit, any additional prints or packages will cost extra. Here are the confirmed prices and offerings for 2025:
Digital image: $15
Basket Package (one 5×7 print and four wallet-sized prints): $15
Jellybean Package (one 6×8, two 5×7 prints, two 4×6 prints, four wallet-sized prints, and a digital copy): $25
Cabela’s is pet-friendly, so you can bring your pup along for photos.
Cabela’s is on our list of pet-friendly stores, and some locations even have free kennels so your pet can relax while you shop.
Both service animals and well-behaved pets can go inside Cabela’s, unless local laws prohibit it. So if your pooch or kitty wants to sit with the Easter Bunny too, feel free to bring them along.
