• Visitors are encouraged to touch and smell plants, and hands-on exhibits feature sound, visual, and tactile elements designed for accessibility.
• A visual schedule and details about transportation, entry, and what to expect will be sent out in advance to families who have preregistered.
• Snacking is permitted, and a quiet seating area will be available before and during the event.
• Families are encouraged to bring a friend with or without disabilities; include them in your RSVP.
