Autism- & Sensory-Friendly Things to Do in Colorado Springs

Finding an outing you can take your autistic child on without bracing for the lights, the noise, or the crowd can feel like a project in itself. The good news: Colorado Springs is one of the better-equipped cities in the region, anchored by a nationally certified sensory-inclusive zoo and a strong library program.

This is a working guide to autism- and sensory-friendly things to do in Colorado Springs. Programs change and schedules shift, so always confirm directly with the venue before you go. If you know of a resource we have missed, please tell us.
