The International Board of Credentialing and Continuing Education Standards certified the park as a “Certified Autism Center,” meaning park staff have received specialized training to ensure they have the skills and knowledge to cater to children with special needs.
The park also has a low sensory area and quiet rooms for guests who need a relief from sensory stimulation.
SeaWorld’s Aquatica water park also received a designation as a certified autism center in January, and last April, a SeaWorld sister park, Sesame Place, became the world’s first theme park designated as a certified autism center.
