Flashing lights are off, and sound levels are reduced to create a more comfortable and less overwhelming atmosphere.

With a limited number of guests, the sessions are quieter, providing fewer distractions and a more relaxed experience.
3
The setting is designed to offer more room and fewer sensory triggers, allowing guests to enjoy the activity at their own pace.
4
Our relaxed sessions are open to everyone, including those with autism or other sensory sensitivities, offering a welcoming environment for all to enjoy.
