Sensory Friendly Ride
Join us for a sensory-friendly ride! First Wednesday of every month! To provide a more accepting and comfortable setting for individuals on the autism spectrum or with sensory sensitivities and their families, we will slow the carousel down to a jog and turn off the organ music. It's our hope to provide a fun and inviting space for everyone.
