Experience Manatee Lagoon with minimal crowds and a sensory friendly environment. Once a month, we will open one hour early and our exhibit will be modified with low lighting and reduced noise. In an effort to provide the best experience possible, we require registration for each offering as space is limited.
At Manatee Lagoon – An FPL Eco-Discovery Center, we are proud to be a certified autism-friendly business from the Florida Atlantic University Center for Autism and Related Disabilities. We offer sensory kits, sensory-friendly hours, social narratives, and quiet spaces to ensure an inclusive experience for all visitors. Learn more about our autism-friendly resources here.
