Before the full Wildlights season, the Columbus Zoo opens select Wildlights attractions for a sensory-friendly evening with smaller crowds, reduced background music and no park-wide sound. The Grand Carousel is free, a limited number of indoor and animal areas are open and a calming room is nearby; the Zoo train does not run. Sensory kits with noise-canceling headphones, sunglasses and fidget tools are available at Guest Relations for a $10 refundable deposit, and social stories and sensory maps can be downloaded from the Zoo's accessibility page. Tickets are limited and must be bought in advance; members attend free but must pre-register.
