Experience the Magic of Cinema in a Sensory-Friendly Environment

Join us for a special movie experience tailored to those with sensory sensitivities. Our Sensory Sensitive Movie Time is designed to create a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere for everyone:

  • Lights On: We’ll keep the lights on, providing a gentle glow to ease the usual darkness of a movie theater.
  • Reduced Sound: Enjoy the film with lowered volume, making the experience more accessible to those sensitive to loud noises.
  • Fidget Toys Provided: We’ll offer a variety of fidget toys to help keep hands busy and minds focused.

This event is intended to be a safe and accepting space for families and individuals with sensory sensitivities. Feel free to bring your own comfort items, such as blankets, earplugs, or anything else that will help make your experience more enjoyable.

Why Attend?

  • Inclusive Environment: Our cinema event is open to all ages and abilities, with a special focus on neurodivergent children.
  • Comfort and Accessibility: We’ve designed this event with your needs in mind, ensuring that everyone can enjoy the magic of cinema in a way that feels right for them.
  • Family-Friendly Fun: Gather the whole family for an afternoon of entertainment in a space where everyone feels welcome.

We Look Forward to Seeing You There! Don’t miss this chance to enjoy a movie in a supportive and sensory-friendly setting. Register today at the front desk or give us a call at 815-942-6880 for more information.
