Day of Discovery
Sensory-Friendly Family Fun
A Day of Discovery provides an Aquarium experience specifically tailored to individuals with sensory differences and their families. Days of Discovery are hosted by The Florida Aquarium in partnership with the Center for Autism & Related Disabilities (C.A.R.D.) at the University of South Florida.
To address the needs of our diverse audiences, Day of Discovery has limited capacity and is reserved for families and children with sensory differences and/or accessibility challenges. Special effects, lights and music will be adapted for those with sensory differences.
Day of Discovery is free for members and $10 for non-members.
Join us for our next Day of Discovery on October 25 from 8:00 – 9:00 AM.
