5:30 p.m. - 8:30 p.m.
The Columbus Zoo and Aquarium will offer a Sensory-Friendly Wildlights experience for guests to enjoy the attractions of the Zoo during a less stimulating time, without the added background sounds (such as music throughout the park or the carousel), and large crowds that can be challenging for individuals with sensory needs.
*Please note that the number of tickets to this portion of the day are limited and must be pre-purchased before the event. Some sounds and visuals are required for safety purposes and these will not be altered during the light stroll.*
Guests are encouraged to visit the Columbus Zooâs Accessibility page (INSERT LINK) to download social stories and sensory maps to help better prepare your visit. These tools can provide valuable information about what to expect during your day at the Zoo.
Sensory kits with noise-canceling headphones, sunglasses, and fidget devices will be available at Guest Relations for a $10 refundable deposit. A calming room will be nearby for individuals that may require a quiet space for self-regulation.
*Tickets are limited, reservations will be taken soon!
