Sensory Inclusive Facility Certification
As part of our commitment to inclusion and accessibility, the Saskatoon Zoo is a certified Sensory Inclusive facility and now offers complimentary Sensory Bags to help guests with sensory processing needs enjoy a more comfortable and rewarding visit.
These bags are available free of charge at the Zoo Admission gate. Guests can check one out by leaving a valid ID, and all items are thoroughly cleaned between uses.
Each Sensory Bag includes:
- A KCVIP badge to help staff identify and support guests with sensory needs
- Fidget tools to help with focus and self-regulation
- Noise-canceling headphones to reduce overwhelming sounds
- Visual cue cards and other helpful resources
Whether you're visiting with a child on the autism spectrum, someone with sensory sensitivities or just looking for a quieter experience, these tools are here to support your visit.
This initiative is part of our Sensory Inclusive Certification through KultureCity, a leader in sensory accessibility. Our staff has received specialized training to better assist guests with sensory needs and ensure a welcoming experience for all.
