This weekend was dreary, cold and rainy.  We were trying to figure out something fun to do inside, so my boyfriend and I brought his kids to Skyzone.  I had never been there before, and everyone had a blast!  One cool thing I noticed was a sign that said they offered "Sensory Sunday" for kids with sensory sensitivity.  The lights are dimmed and music is lowered or turned off.

Then this morning, I saw on the news that Chuck E. Cheese also offered "Sensory Sensitive Sundays", so that kids affected by sensory issues can have the same amount of fun!

I asked you for other places that offered these types of special hours or days for families.  Here are a few you mentioned!
