Families impacted by autism spectrum disorder are invited to visit the Aquarium after hours and enjoy special programming.  

Guests can watch a sea lion presentation, touch sharks and stingrays at M&T Bank Shark and Ray Bay, interact with sensory stations, enjoy snacks, complete crafts, and more. 

April’s event will also feature eclipse-themed activities in honor of the total solar eclipse happening later in the month.

This free event is generously made possible through funding from the Peter and Elizabeth Tower Foundation and through collaboration with Buffalo State University, and several community partners.
