We’re proud to debut sensory-friendly activities during Lights Before Christmas presented by Huntington Bank!
As part of the Conda Family Zoo for All Program, these special evenings are designed to remove barriers and create more accessible experiences for every guest, with optional accommodations to best fit individual needs.
Both of these nights are included in Lights admission (free for members).
Please note: High-stimulation areas, including Blade Plaza near the main entrance, will still be active during these nights and are shown on the map.
What to Expect
- A quiet sensory area and relaxed activities, like story telling, in the Great Hall of the ProMedica Museum of Natural History.
- A digital sensory-friendly map, listed on this page, with a recommended route to avoid areas with fast, flashing lights and music.
- Includes marked headphone zones in high-stimulation areas.
Accommodations Available throughout Lights
