The sensory rooms, in SEA's words

“Sensory rooms are provided as a calming environment for those who may feel overwhelmed, overstimulated, or find the need recenter from the multitude of sights and sounds of the airport travel experience.”

“These rooms are a shared amenity. Space is limited.”

  • The rooms are shared, so your kid may not have the room to themselves. It can help to say that before you open the door.
  • The airport's interactive map gives step-by-step directions to each room.
  • Before security there's an Interfaith Prayer and Meditation Space near Skybridge 2. It's for prayer and meditation, and the airport asks everyone to come and go quietly, keep conversations outside, and not eat, drink, rest or sleep there.
