F.I.S.H. Sensory Sensitivity Hours

F.I.S.H. Sensory Sensitivity Hours is a specially designed aquarium experience created for visitors who are sensitive to crowds, noise, and bright lights—including children and adults with autism, anxiety, sensory processing differences, or other needs. During these designated hours, the Newport Aquarium operates with reduced lighting, lower volume, fewer visitors, and a calm environment, allowing families to explore the marine life and exhibits at their own pace without overwhelming stimulation. It's a thoughtful opportunity for all family members to enjoy the wonder of aquatic animals in a peaceful, welcoming setting.
