Thank you to everyone who joined us for the Grand Opening of our new Sensory Room on October 1 at Exploration Station! πŸŽ‰

This space has been thoughtfully designed to offer a calming environment for visitors of all abilities. As Executive Director Mike O'Shea shared, 'Our sensory room is designed with various sensory items including a weighted lap pad, soft lighting, interactive light cubes, and textured walls. It provides an environment where visitors can rest, recharge, and find calm before returning to their exploring! Additionally, Exploration Station now offers sensory bags containing noise-canceling headphones, fidget tools, and verbal cue cards, available to any guest who may feel overwhelmed during their visit.'

We would like to extend a special thank you to River Valley Special Recreation Association for sponsoring the Sensory Room. 🌟 We invite you all to visit this exciting new addition on your next trip to Exploration Station.

We are open today for Presidents Day! Stop in and explore!
