## About

A sensory-relaxed early hour on the third Sunday of the month: lower capacity, softer music, reduced lighting, calming areas, special animal encounters and a sensory guide for each exhibit. Noise-cancelling headphones and fidgets can be borrowed; November's theme is Thankful for Turtles and December's is Scuba Santa.
