Festival of Trees Sensory Day

New in 2024, in partnership with Systems Unlimited and The Arc of East Central Iowa, is Sensory Day. The Festival of Trees Sensory-friendly experience is designed to provide an accessible and welcoming experience for people with sensory sensitivities, and other social, learning, or cognitive disabilities. 
  
Sensory Day will include a venue layout adjusted to accommodate additional space to take in the experience at a preferred pace. Patrons will notice adjusted lighting and sound levels, designated space away from high traffic/programmed areas, and additional exit options.    
  
Patrons of Sensory Day will enjoy beautifully decorated trees, a visit with Santa, arts and crafts activities, and holiday-themed space for photo options throughout the venue.
