Max Card, the UK’s discount initiative for children with a disability and in social care, has joined forces with Merlin Entertainment to hold the first Autism-Friendly morning at Scarborough Sea life Sanctuary.
Open to those with a Max Card, families will be able to take part in the event on May 13th with activities starting at 8.30 am.
“We’ve been working closely with Merlin Entertainment for a few years now. They already offer Max Card holders fantastic discounts at all of their venues but this is the first, hopefully of many, exclusive Autism-Friendly mornings,” said brand manager of Max Card, Verity Park.
“We are constantly developing the Max Card offering. While speaking to families about what barriers are in the way of them enjoying days out, we heard time and again that, often it was the environment that was overwhelming for their children, not just the cost.
“Scarborough Sea Life Sanctuary has been fantastic and the morning will include access to quiet areas, considerate lighting and an effort to keep noise to a minimum. With exclusive use of the sanctuary we can keep numbers low so everyone has a chance to enjoy the animals,” she added.
On the day, the Sea Life Sanctuary will offer quiet areas for kids and families as well as reduced lighting and minimal noise.
