Family Inclusive Sensory Hours

Everyone should be able to enjoy a fun, inspiring and comfortable visit to Newport Aquarium. Join us for Family Inclusive Sensory Hours when activities, sound, lighting or other modifications are made to the visitor experience to ensure an accessible, safe, comfortable and fun environment for all guests, including those with special needs.

With limited capacity available for Family Inclusive Sensory Hours, we recommend you purchase tickets in advance online prior to your visit. Plus, with Plan-Ahead Pricing, the earlier you get your tickets, the more you can save!

F.I.S.H. Family Inclusive Sensory Hours are presented by Shriners Hospitals For Children.

Sensory Sensitivity Hours

During our Sensory Sensitivity Hours, lower capacities, no music, limited microphone use and reduced lighting will provide a sensory-relaxed environment for guests with Autism, PTSD, dementia, anxiety and other sensory sensitivities.

Calming areas will be provided and noise cancelling headphones and fidgets will be available at no cost on a first-come, first serve basis to be borrowed during your visit. A sensory level guide on touch, sight and sound will be provided. Special animal encounters will also take place during the sensitivity hours.

All Members qualify for complimentary admission to Sensory Sensitivity Hours. Silver Members and Pre-K Members must make a reservation. Since this is a limited capacity special event, it is recommended that Gold and Platinum Members also make a reservation. For those looking to make membership reservations, please contact Group Sales at 859-815-1478.

All environmental modifications will return to standard operations promptly at 11:00am.
