A sensory-friendly movie experience for families with special/support needs—move, make noise, take breaks, and enjoy The Good Dinosaur.
About this Event

Join us for a Sensory-Friendly Movie Experience featuring The Good Dinosaur, created especially for families with children who have special/support needs.

This experience will be hosted in our gym, transformed into a movie space with a 120-foot pop-up screen and projector. The movie volume will be kept lower than a traditional theater to support individuals who may be sensitive to sound.

Families are encouraged to enjoy the movie in a way that works best for them. This is a judgment-free environment where children are welcome to move around, make noise, take breaks, and truly be themselves.

To support different sensory and engagement needs, we will offer:

  • A small art station in the back of the gym for children who need a hands-on activity
  • A quiet space available in a separate, large open area of our Family Activity Center for children who may need a break from the movie
  • Popcorn and water provided
  • Bring-Your-Own snacks welcome (please note: we are a nut-free center, so no nut products, thank you!)

Our staff will be on site throughout the event to support families and answer questions, and resource information will be available for families who would like to learn more about supports and services.

This sensory-friendly experience is designed to give families the joy of a shared movie outing—without pressure, expectations, or barriers—just comfort, inclusion, and fun.
