Overview

Come enjoy the wonders of aquatic life in a supportive, sensory-friendly environment.

Families impacted by autism spectrum disorder are invited to visit the Aquarium’s Main Building after hours and enjoy special programming.  

Guests can watch a sea lion presentation, touch sharks and stingrays at M&T Bank Shark and Ray Bay, interact with sensory stations, enjoy snacks, complete crafts, and more.  Please note – this event takes place at the Aquarium’s Main Building. Great Lakes 360 will not be open during the event.

October’s event will also feature our popular Halloween scavenger hunt. Guests are encouraged to come in costume!

This free event is generously made possible through funding from the Peter and Elizabeth Tower Foundation and through collaboration with Buffalo State University, and several community partners.
