Urban Air Adventure Park — Sensory Friendly Play

Program-level record — this page documents what Urban Air Adventure Park publishes about this program nationally. It is not a listing for one location, and locations can vary in how they run it.

Many Urban Air trampoline and adventure parks run a monthly play session designed for children with autism and special needs. During the session there is no loud music and no flashing lights, so the park is noticeably calmer than a normal session while the attractions stay open. Because parks are franchised, the day and time are set park by park — most use a Sunday morning — so families need to check their own park's page before going.
