Southwick’s Zoo has partnered with the Autism Alliance of Metrowest to help us better accommodate guests with sensory processing needs and to provide a welcoming and inclusive experience for guests of all abilities.

The zoo will be open an hour early (9:00 AM – 10:00 AM) for guests looking for a sensory-friendly opportunity to visit the zoo and enjoy a quieter atmosphere and environment with no bright lights, rides, or gift shop.

Social stories are available to help you enjoy the event.
