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:
2nd Sunday from 9:30 am -12:30 pm
4th Tuesday from 1:30 - 4:30 pm
Audubon welcomes any support needed to make this experience the most comfortable for our guests. There will be a 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.
Register in advance for a 50-minute time slot, so we can guarantee limited occupancy. There is no cost to register, but entrance fees are required for admission to the Nature Center and Aquarium.
If you have any questions about Audubon’s Sensory Friendly Hours, please call Kate Swain at 401-245-7500 ext 3125.
