Low Sensory Hour:
This year, we’ve added a low sensory hour on Sunday from 9am to 10am. During this time, we’ll reduce lights, lower or turn off music, and limit capacity for a calmer shopping experience. Those already inside can continue shopping after 10am when we open to the public. Learn more and get tickets here.
