Sensory Room
Through consultation with the University of South Florida ¨C Center for Autism and Related Disabilities (CARD), the Rays designed and constructed a Sensory Room with the intent to provide a safe space for those with sensory processing needs. Located in Suite 45 on our 200 level, the Sensory Room provides a quiet area where guests can decompress if they feel overwhelmed or overstimulated. Guests will find fun items in the Sensory Room that offer a safe and relaxing environment while stimulating or calming specific senses. Guests entering the Rays Sensory Room must be 18 or be accompanied by an adult.
For access to the room, please visit Guest Services at Gate 1 or 3.
We ask that guests limit their time in the Sensory Room to 20 minutes to accommodate others visiting the ballpark. If you are uncomfortable sharing the Sensory Room with others, please vacate the room and wait until the space is unoccupied.
For questions or concerns, please see a Fan Host.
