The certification ensures that zoo staff are trained annually on how to recognize guests with sensory needs and how to handle a sensory overload situation.

KultureCity Sensory Bags that include noise-cancelling headphones, fidget tools and other useful resources are provided for guests to borrow while visiting the zoo.

“Our communities shape our lives and to know that the Little Rock Zoo is willing to go the extra mile to ensure that everyone, no matter their ability, is included in community experiences is amazing,” Uma Srivastava, Executive Director for KultureCitysaid. “We’re honored to partner with the Little Rock Zoo to provide a truly inclusive experience for all guests.”
