It’s Autism Acceptance Month and we’d like to give you a friendly reminder that the Maryland Zoo is sensory inclusive. We want everyone to have a fun day but know that certain things, like vocalizing animals, can make some feel uncomfortable. If you or someone you love needs extra sensory support, we have Sensory Bags available to loan for free at the Main Gate so everyone can enjoy their visit! Also, please join us in supporting, including, and accepting people with autism this Saturday at Wildly Inclusive: Autism Acceptance Day! This event is included with Zoo admission or membership and will feature fun activities, resources, chalk art, and special animal activities. #autism #autismfamily #autismacceptance #autismacceptanceday #autismacceptancemonth #zoo #kulturecity #marylandzoo #animals #autismmom #sensorylearning #sensoryprocessing #sensoryplay #sensorybin
