“The PA Convention Center has a sensory-friendly space to provide our neurodivergent guests and staff with a calming and controlled sensory-focused environment to help regulate emotions, reduce stress, and create a therapeutic experience.”
“The room features soft lighting, various comfortable seating options, and other sensory tools and aids.”
“The room is located on the 100-level in Room 101A and will be available during the run of the Flower Show.”
“Please know that there can be many guests, bright colors, and loud sounds throughout the Show spaces. To minimize these factors, consider a visit during the week in the late afternoon or early evening.”
Room 101A on the 100 level is the Show's quiet area as well as its sensory-friendly space.
Security staff wear royal blue shirts and are there to help. A Lost & Found is part of the Information Booth outside Hall A, the main exhibit area.
A lactation, feeding and changing station is on the Concourse Level of the Convention Center. The Show map and signs mark ADA ramps and restrooms.
Re-entry: hand-stamping stations are at each exit, and there is no re-entry without a hand stamp.
