Sensory Friendly Hours at Audubon
The Audubon Society of Rhode Island Nature Center and Aquarium in Bristol is now offering Sensory Friendly Hours starting in January 2024. Audubon invites people with Autism Spectrum Disorders and other sensory processing sensitivities to discover nature at the Center with fewer guests and a quieter environment, as well as lower lighting and no screens.
Sensory Friendly Hours will be offered twice a month on the 2nd Sunday from 9:30am -12:30 pm and the 4th Tuesday, from 1:30-4:30 pm.
Audubon welcomes any supports needed to make this experience the most comfortable for our guests. There will be maximum of 12 visitors in the Nature Center and Aquarium exhibits during these hours along with trained and caring staff available to help provide a safe and enjoyable experience. Adults are asked to accompany children at all times.
