Sensory-Friendly Nights at Jack-O-Lantern Spectacular

October 21 and October 22, 5-6 PM
Roger Williams Park Zoo

Join us for a special sensory-friendly Jack-O-Lantern Spectacular an hour before the trail opens to the public: designed for those with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and sensory processing differences and their families on October 21 & October 22 from 5:00 – 6:00 pm. For maximum enjoyment, the over 5000 pumpkins will light up the Zoo’s Wetlands Trail, but there will be no music or special effects. We recommend that you and your family arrive early to enjoy the experience for as long as you can, as the music and lights will turn on promptly at 6:00 pm.

Please Note: Tickets for this hour are only available IN PERSON at the Zoo’s admissions booth the evening of the event. Ticket prices are $16 for adults; $13 for children (ages 2-12); toddlers 1 and under are always free.

Sponsored by ABA Centers of Rhode Island

Etienne Charles and his band showed us a fantastic time last Friday showcasing Gullah Roots! We were so thrilled to partner with @firstworksri and @pvdparks to bring you the first Summer Beats concert of the summer here at RWP!

Shout-out to @melaine.mp3 and @jpittswiley for hosting an inspiring Creative Conversation with @etiennejazz before the show!

Get ready for another night of dancing when The Groovalottos are in town next Friday, July 24, at the Boathouse Lawn. 💃
The first Gentle Yoga in the Park session is this evening! 🧘

Yoga with Ellary Gamache (@ocean_state_ellary) takes place every Monday at 6 PM starting July 13. Bring your yoga mat, comfy clothes, and open mind to relax in the shade of the historic Sycamore tree in front of the Betsey Williams Cottage. This 18+ class intends to be an accessible, inclusive, and welcoming space for all bodies – no experience necessary!

Free weekly classes take place Mondays through Sept. 7 (except Aug. 31), weather depending; no sign-up needed. Follow us for updates!
