At Munkholm Zoo, we are committed to being a place where everyone can feel included and at ease. We want our zoo to be a safe and peaceful environment for all our guests, regardless of any special needs or challenges they may have.
We offer autism-friendly experiences and accommodate various types of disabilities. Our goal is to create an experience where everyone feels welcome and can enjoy a day in the world of animals without stress or anxiety.
We know that many people with autism or other special needs require structure, predictability, and a calm environment. That is why we have designed our zoo to be easy to navigate. We also offer quiet areas throughout the park where visitors can take a break from sensory stimuli if needed
Our zoo is designed with accessibility in mind, making it easy and straightforward for everyone to explore the park. The paths are wide and easy to navigate, even for wheelchair users, and there are plenty of benches along the routes for those who need a break.
We also have accessible restrooms and designated parking spaces near the entrance for easy access. For families or visitors who need a quiet moment, we have areas away from the busiest paths where you can retreat and take a break from the sensory stimuli.
All of this contributes to an autism-friendly environment where both children and adults can feel at ease.
Our friendly staff is always ready to answer questions, provide guidance, or assist with any challenges, so our guests can make the most of their visit. We have experience accommodating individual needs and can tailor the experience if special considerations are required.We strive to create an autism-friendly experience by offering support and flexibility to our guests.
If you have a companion card, you may bring a helper at no charge. We also recommend that you contact us in advance if you have any special requests or needs, so that we can ensure you have the best possible experience.
We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to experience the joy of animals and nature, regardless of any physical or mental challenges. That is why we also offer the chance to be an animal caretaker for a day.
We offer this experience to only one person per day so that we can tailor the day to each individual and create the very best autism-friendly experience. We take into account the need for structure and predictability, and our animal caretakers ensure a safe and guided experience.
Participants will have the opportunity to help feed and care for the animals, learn interesting facts, and get close and personal with some of our most fascinating animals.
Plan your trip to Munkholm Zoo today and enjoy a day filled with adventure, learning, and unforgettable moments with our amazing animals.
Whether you’re looking for a peaceful day in nature or an experience where you can get close and personal with the animals, we’re ready to welcome you and provide you with an autism-friendly experience.
