Sensory Sundays @ Kentwood

Sensory Sunday offers a calm and inclusive roller skating experience designed for children with autism and sensory sensitivities. This specialized session provides a relaxed and supportive environment with gentle, consistent lighting, no loud music, and no flashing or strobe lights, creating a safe space for children to enjoy skating without overwhelm. The private, low-crowd atmosphere ensures every participant can move freely while building confidence and coordination on skates. Parents, caregivers, and support aides are always welcome to spectate for free, allowing families to fully participate while feeling comfortable and supported throughout the session.

This monthly event encourages children and families to engage in a positive recreational activity that combines movement, fun, and social interaction in a judgment-free setting. Regular skate rentals are included in the admission, and roller blade rentals are available for those who wish to use them. The program is ideal for children who benefit from a sensory-friendly environment, providing an opportunity to enjoy physical activity, improve motor skills, and connect with peers in a calm and structured setting. Staff are attentive and trained to ensure each child has a positive and enjoyable experience.
