SPOTS ARE STILL AVAILABLE!

‼️PLEASE READ BEFORE REGISTERING‼️
This is a night for people on the autism spectrum and their loved ones who may not get to go to the Zoo other times of the year due to a number of different factors such as sensory differences. Please only sign up if you are part of this community, as it could be taking away the opportunity for another family who only gets to go during these events.

Due to the overwhelming popularity of our recent zoo events—and a high number of no-shows after registration—we’re continuing with registration limits and a small fee to help ensure spots are reserved by those who truly plan to attend. Our goal is to make sure as many families as possible can enjoy this special experience together!

‼️PLEASE READ BEFORE REGISTERING ‼️
Important details:
- $2 per ticket
- Please only register for your family. If you are planning to attend with another family as a group, have them register separately.
- This is an after-hours event — some animals may not be visible due to their natural sleep cycles
- The Splash Pad will remain open if weather permits — if there is lightening detected within a 20-mile radius, all water features will be shut off for safety.
- Concessions will be available
- Wheelchairs/strollers are available for rental

Let’s make it a fun and inclusive night for the autism community!

This web page is a place to explore visual arts opportunities for youth in communities around Nebraska. This is intended to be a resource for families to access visual art opportunities outside of school time for children in grades K-12. Listed here are organizations who have had visual arts classes, workshops, tours, and events for students of all ages. The web page is organized in alphabetical order.

The web page is live - please share with staff, students, families, all people, to get the word out about the amazing organizations in Nebraska that host visual arts opportunities!
