Those who have someone with special needs in the family will want to save the date for the first Sensory Day of the year at WonderWorks Orlando. The special Sensory Day event will be held on Sunday, February 1, 2026, from 9 am until noon. This time will be dedicated to providing guests with a fun and memorable experience, toned down to make it more comfortable for those with special needs. Additionally, WonderWorks is kicking off the year with returning Homeschool Days, a discount Family Fun Day, and more.
“Visitors are sure to enjoy a calm and comfortable morning when attending our Sensory Day. We believe ‘edu-tainment’ should be accessible to all, so we love hosting these sensory-friendly events throughout the year and chatting with the families who utilize them,” said Brian Wayne, general manager at WonderWorks Orlando.
During the upcoming Sensory Day, all music and loud exhibits will be turned down throughout the facility. Additionally, the Inversion Tunnel will be stopped. These measures will help create a calmer environment for those with special needs. There will still be plenty of fun for the whole family, giving people a chance to learn, explore, and play at their own pace.
Tickets for Sensory Day will be $15 per person, plus tax. They can be purchased at the box office upon arrival or online. In addition to being a great resource for local families, this event is an excellent opportunity for special education groups to plan a visit to the attraction. Groups and organizations visiting are encouraged to work with the sales team in advance to ensure a smooth visit. The event is ideal for those who need an environment that is not overly stimulating, but still offers opportunities that are fun and educational.
“WonderWorks is the place to be in 2026—Add us to your bucket list!” said Davianys Ramos, education sales manager at WonderWorks Orlando. “We’ve got tons of fun events, deals, and celebrations in the works. Looking forward to seeing you in the upside-down lab real soon!”
The start of the new year means there are plenty of other fun things to look forward to at WonderWorks. To kick things off, WonderWorks Orlando is offering their popular Homeschool Days in January and February 2026. Homeschool families based in Florida can take advantage of discounted admission rates on weekdays before 3 pm, when local schools are in session. Guests must present homeschool identification or proof of homeschooling intent upon arrival to receive the discounted admission rate of $22 per person, plus tax. Groups of 10 or more who make an advanced reservation will qualify for an even lower rate of $19 per person, plus tax. Homeschool families and groups can get more information and plan their visit online.
Florida residents should mark their calendars for WonderWorks’ next Family Fun Day, taking place on Sunday, January 25, 2026 to coincide with National Florida Day. On that day, all Florida residents can get All-Access admission tickets for only $25 per person, plus tax. The tickets can be purchased at the door or online. Florida identification is required upon arrival. National Florida Day is a time to gather together and celebrate all the people and places that make the Sunshine State so great, so families will not want to miss out on this day of discounted fun at Central Florida’s favorite upside-down house. There will be more exciting events coming up in 2026, so be sure to follow the social media pages for details.
