About this event
Join us on Nov. 16
Time: 4:30 to 8:30 p.m.
Sensory-Friendly night allows guests with different sensory processing needs and their families to enjoy the wonder of ZooLights. Guests can pause in available cool-down spaces, music is quieter and participation is limited to minimize crowds.
Bags equipped with noise-canceling headphones, sunglasses, fidget tools, verbal cue cards and weighted lap pads are available to any guests with sensory needs. Ask staff at the zoo entrance to check out a sensory kit for free. Before attending, download the free KultureCity app to learn about available resources and how to access them and view a social story to prepare for your trip.
