SUMMARY:Zootober: Sensory Sunday
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Sunday\, October 19\, from 1–5 PM for a special Sensory Sunday at Peoria Zoo’s Zootober! This calmer\, more relaxed experience is perfect for guests who prefer a lower-sensory environment. Animatronics and music will be on\, but projections will be turned off for a gentler experience. \nEnjoy Zootober-themed food and beverages\, visit 10 activity and candy stations (including teal pumpkin allergy-friendly treats)\, and see many of your favorite animals along the way. \nComplimentary golf cart rides (Eerie Express!) are available by reservation for 1-hour time slots (up to 3 riders; driver provided). A paid adult admission ($12.50 + online fees) is required to hold your golf cart spot (one admission is included in your cart reservation; additional admissions can be purchased at the event). Limited Availability. Reserve your cart ride here! \nAll other Zoo admissions can be paid at the door; no additional ticket is required to attend.
