Sensory Friendly Mornings at the National Zoo & Aquarium Canberra 🌿
We are pleased to be hosting two Sensory Friendly Mornings in partnership with The Autism Centre (Marymead Catholic Care), designed to create a calm and welcoming zoo experience for families who may find busy public environments challenging.
🗓 Upcoming dates:
• Sunday 22 March
• Sunday 17 May
Families will be able to enter the zoo early from 8:00 am, before general opening hours, allowing extra time to explore the zoo in a quieter, more relaxed environment. Guests attending the morning will also receive full-day access to the zoo.
During the early access period, we will work to minimise noise and sensory triggers to help create a comfortable space for our visitors.
✨ What to expect:
• Early entry from 8:00 am
• A quieter zoo environment before general opening
• Opportunity to enjoy exhibits at a relaxed pace
• Special reptile meet and greet experience
Guests attending through The Autism Centre can bring children for free! All accompanying adults will require a paid entry ticket.
These mornings are a wonderful opportunity for families to connect with wildlife in a supportive and inclusive environment, and we are proud to partner with The Autism Centre to make this possible.
