Sensory Friendly
Field Trips
First Tuesday of every month
Thinkery is excited to offer sensory-friendly field trips starting in the 2024-2025 school year! These field trips are structured just like our typical school year field trips, but they will have a much more limited capacity to accommodate students with higher sensory needs. Allow your students to explore, play, and learn in an environment best suited for their needs and comfort.
Thinkery provides sensory backpacks, noise-canceling headphones, sunglasses, and a social story. These resources are available on a first-come, first-served basis. You can find all available resources on our accessibility page.
When: First Tuesday of every month, October 2024 – May 2025
Thinkery will not be offering these field trips during the month of November.
Times: 9:30 am – 11 am, 10:30 am – 12 pm, 11:30 am – 1 pm
Group size: Maximum 60 students per time slot, limit to one group per time slot
Price: $9 per student*, free for teachers/staff, $18 per chaperone
Discounts are available for Title I schools. Please indicate your school’s Title I status on the request form
