We're proud to be Sensory Inclusive Certified – again! Since 2019, we’ve partnered with KultureCity to ensure our campus, programs, and events are sensory-inclusive for individuals with autism, PTSD, dementia, and anyone who may be sensitive to sensory stimuli. We're excited to announce that we recently renewed our certification, continuing our commitment to making the Dallas Zoo a welcoming space for everyone to connect with animals and nature. To achieve and maintain this certification, our staff undergoes continuous training from leading medical professionals to recognize guests with sensory needs and effectively manage sensory overload situations. We provide sensory bags equipped with noise-canceling headphones, fidget tools, verbal cue cards, and weighted lap pads to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable experience for all our guests. We also host Sensory Friendly Days at the Zoo, where families can explore the Zoo without the crowds, noise, and sensory stimuli of a typical day. Our next Sensory Friendly Day is on September 29 – check out our website for more information: bit.ly/3X1jjeL #DallasZoo #SensoryInclusive #KultureCity #AccessibilityForAll #InclusiveExperience #Community
