Sensory-Friendly Event
Sensory-friendly holiday event at Columbus Zoo designed for all families.
Sensory-friendly events are specially designed for children and families who benefit from a calm, low-stress environment—including those with autism, sensory processing differences, anxiety, or other needs. Expect reduced noise levels, softer lighting, a quieter atmosphere, and the flexibility to move around freely. Staff are trained to be patient and understanding. At a zoo setting, families can explore animals at their own pace without the overwhelming crowds and stimulation of regular operating hours, making it easier for every child to enjoy and learn.
