Another exciting addition to the ballpark includes a sensory room on the fifth floor. Created in collaboration with KultureCity, this welcoming space allows neuroatypical guests to enjoy temporary respite from the outside. The space features fun items and activities to stimulate or relax the senses. The calming space also includes activity panels, Yogibo bean bags and a 100 percent recycled acoustic carpet. Guests who want to access this room can head to any guest services booth to sign in.
