Join us for a uniquely relaxed evening for our Members, with a special focus on those with sensory sensitivities.
Delivering a fun, highly interactive experience for all, Grammy Award-winner Dan Zanes and Haitian-American jazz vocalist and music therapist Claudia Zanes team up with singer Tyree Austin to create a sensory-friendly inclusive experience at 6:30 pm.
Afterward, experience a sensory-friendly Illuminated Fountain Performance, Journey to Oz, at 8:15 pm. This show features the same spectacular artistry with lower audio volume and smooth lighting transitions to minimize strobing effects; it will not feature fire effects, for a more comfortable experience.
Guests of all ages are welcome to enjoy this calmer environment. Quiet areas will be available throughout the evening in the Peirce-du Pont House Library and The Fountain Room.
Reservations will be required to ensure a calm, positive experience for all guests.
