POWELL, Ohio — The Columbus Zoo and Aquarium and Zoombezi Bay are offering several sensory-friendly events over the next several months.

Quiet After Hours at Zoombezi Bay

On Friday, Aug. 20, Zoombezi Bay will host quiet hours from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. Guests will be able to enjoy the water park during a less stimulating time, without added background noises such as music throughout the park, which can be challenging for those with sensory needs.

The Wave Pool will be available from 5–9 p.m. (The waves will be on between 7 p.m. and 9 p.m.)

A limited number of sensory kits—including noise-canceling headphones, sunglasses and fidget devices—will be available at Guest Relations for a $10 refundable deposit.

Character Ambassadors will be available for meet-and-greets at select times.
