Getting ready forWe Rock the Spectrum Colorado Springs.
A sensory gym on Austin Bluffs Parkway with swings, a trampoline and a calming room, plus sensory-friendly open play with fewer kids, headphones, adjustable lights and the music down or off.
Monday to Thursday 9 am to 7 pm, Friday 9 am to 5 pm, Saturday and Sunday 9 am to 3 pm. “Hours vary based on private events, please check our schedule or call for more info.”
The gym “offers dedicated Sensory-Friendly Open Play hours every Monday.” “During these times, we intentionally limit capacity to create a less crowded space and offer sensory supports such as noise-canceling headphones, adjustable lighting, and the option to lower or turn off music as needed.”
Sensory open play is “just our normal open play experience with fewer guests in the space at one time.” “Spots are limited and tend to fill quickly, so we strongly encourage reserving your admission pass in advance.”
Sensory-friendly open play is a two-hour pass you book online. The gym calls Monday its regular day, but sessions move from week to week, so book the pass first and go only on a day you could book. If no sensory times come up, call 719-432-8383.
It's the same gym and the same equipment, just fewer kids at once. If your kid finds crowds hard, that is the visit to try first.
