In an effort to provide a comfortable yet fun atmosphere for those who need it, WonderWorks Branson is excited to offer their first-ever Sensory Night at the famous upside-down house. The event will be held on Tuesday, January 14, 2025, from 6 pm to 9 pm, with tickets only $15, plus tax, at the door. Guests can enjoy an altered environment that maintains all the building’s fun and exploration while eliminating factors that may be over-stimulating.
"We strive to make sure as many people as possible can take advantage of events like Sensory Days here at WonderWorks, so we're looking forward to hosting our first evening sensory night this month!” said Tim Church, education sales manager at WonderWorks Branson. “This is a great opportunity for everyone to experience the wonder of WonderWorks in a calmer environment.”
During the special period, WonderWorks Branson's exhibits will be altered to reduce the sensory input they provide, making them more comfortable for those with special needs. In addition to lowered music in the facility, the loud exhibits will be turned off, and the Inversion Tunnel will not be running. Such alterations will help to create a safe environment where everyone can enjoy their visit and make memories without feeling overwhelmed.
This sensory-friendly event is the perfect opportunity for local families, schools, and special education programs to join in on the fun. Guests will have a chance to explore many hands-on exhibits, learn something new, and make lasting memories together. In addition, WonderWorks loans out noise-canceling headphones for guests who may need them during both sensory events and regular operating hours. They are in limited supply and are first come, first served.
A second Sensory Day is scheduled for mid-day Sunday, March 2, 2025, from 10 am to 2 pm. Those who cannot make the first evening event may want to put the second one on their calendar now and plan ahead so they don't miss out on all the fun. More information about Sensory Days can be found online.
Another new offering at WonderWorks for the month of January is the After Dark ticket. When taking on the After Dark adventure, guests will get to experience all the same interactive fun at a discounted price. These tickets are only $16, plus tax, when visiting after 6 pm on Sunday through Thursday in January 2025. The special rate is not valid on Friday and Saturday evenings and cannot be combined with other promotions and discounts. After Dark tickets can be purchased online only.
“Whether you’re looking for something fun to do with the family after work or wrapping up the weekend with a quick activity, the After Dark ticket at WonderWorks is the way to go! This is a limited-time offer to kick off the new year, so don’t miss out!” said Brenda Dent, general manager at WonderWorks Branson.
The over 100 interactive exhibits at WonderWorks Branson have been designed to give guests a way to learn in a fun and memorable way. They also offer STEM and STEAM activities and events throughout the year. They provide team-building activities, field trips, corporate events, group rates, scout overnights, family reunions, and more. There are numerous event packages and group rates available with advanced reservations.
