A quieter night among the lights.
Low Sensory Nights offer a quieter, calmer way to experience Holiday Nights. We’ll reduce music, turn off strobing lights, limit attendance, and keep Christmas characters to designated areas so they can easily be avoided if desired. We will also have Eagle Mount in attendance to help navigate the evening.
