What this is, in plain language
The Aquarium of the Pacific runs an accessibility programme for visitors with sensory needs, partnered with KultureCity — staff receive continuous training, and free sensory bags with noise-cancelling headphones and fidget tools can be checked out at Member Services. It also holds dedicated low-cost Autism Families Night and Morning events during quieter hours.
Getting started
Call the guest support centre at (562) 590-3100, ext. 0, before your visit with questions or to name any support your child needs; sensory bags are picked up free of charge at Member Services when you arrive. Website accessibility issues can be reported by emailing aquariumofpacific@lbaop.org.
