The zoo does encourage those who plan to visit their accessibility page for sensory maps to help guests prepare for their visit. Sensory kits are available for a $10 refundable deposit, with items such as noise-canceling headphones, sunglasses, and fidget devices.
Additionally, the zoo is offering a sensory-friendly easter bunny experience 10:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m., where guests can meet the Easter Bunny and egg ambassadors. This will be in a sensory-friendly environment. Those wishing to participate in this event will need to sign up ahead of time as tickets are limited.
