Providing a sensory-friendly environment for all
The DNR Outdoor Adventure Center welcomes friends and families with sensory processing differences to our sensory-friendly building hours!
Enjoy the opportunity to explore and experience the OAC with building sounds and ambient noises at a lower volume. During your visit, there will be a quiet room with sensory materials available to use, and a limited building capacity. At noon, the building will open to the public, with volumes returning to standard operating levels. All staff are KultureCity-certified to ensure the best possible experience.
