The Saint Louis Zoo recently earned Sensory Inclusive certification through a partnership with KultureCity, a nationally recognized nonprofit that provides sensory inclusion training and tools to venues and large-scale events.

Zoo guests will see new KultureCity signage throughout the Zoo indicating areas where there may be sensory challenges, such as noise, temperature, smells or sounds, as well as quiet spaces for relaxing.

As part of the certification process, Zoo team members receive ongoing training on how to recognize and assist guests with sensory needs and how to handle a sensory overload situation.
