Sensory Saturday

Jenkinson’s Aquarium will open its doors an hour early on select dates to provide a more inclusive environment for guests with autism spectrum disorder, sensory processing or cognitive challenges, guests requiring assistance for disabilities as well as other guests who would benefit from a calmer environment. To create a sensory friendly visit there will be decreased noise level, limited visual stimulation and less crowding. The aquarium can supply a limited number of sensory bags (which contain headphones and fidget toys), lap pads and a quiet space that provides a place to take a break if needed.

General admission applies and visitors can re-enter throughout the day if desired.
