Relaxed Sensory Sessions: Winter Wonderlights

Experience the magic of Winter Wonderlights in a more relaxed, accessible setting.

Our Relaxed Sessions are specially designed for visitors who prefer a quieter, less crowded environment. Sovereign Hill transforms into a sensory-friendly space where everyone can enjoy the glow, sparkle, and wonder of our famous winter event.

WHAT TO EXPECT

- Fewer crowds to allow for more comfortable exploration
- Designated quiet spaces for downtime and decompression
- Sensory kits available from the main entrance, including items like ear defenders and fidget tools
- Communication boards available in shops and dining venues
- Social scripts to help you prepare and navigate the experience

These sessions are part of our commitment to the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower initiative, supporting visitors with non-visible disabilities, conditions, and chronic illnesses, and designed in partnership with Aspect (Autism Spectrum Australia).
