Blue Session Creates Welcoming Ocean Escape
This special edition runs Sunday from 8:30 to 10 a.m., before doors open to all. Lights stay brighter, crowds thinner, sounds softer – perfect for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) needs.
ASD visitors enter free with proof at the ticket desk. Up to three companions get half-price tickets at $16 (R$ 80), via website or on-site. Photos come at promo rates, just for this window.
The underwater worlds feel even more immersive in this peaceful setup.
