Sensory-Friendly Event
Sensory-friendly zoo visit at Columbus Zoo with accommodations for children with sensory sensitivities.
The Columbus Zoo's sensory-friendly event is designed to welcome children and adults with autism, sensory sensitivities, and other developmental needs. Visitors enjoy a calmer zoo experience with reduced crowds, lower noise levels, and accommodations like quiet spaces and adjusted lighting in select areas. Families can explore at their own pace, observe animals up close, and participate in interactive stations—all in a supportive environment where children can move, stim, and engage however feels right for them.
