10:30 AM ET - Call of the Dolphins Screening
Join us at the Tennessee Aquarium IMAX 3D Theater for this sensory-friendly screening of Call of the Dolphins.
Sensory-Friendly Screening Information:
Sensory-friendly screenings seek to create an inclusive environment for individuals with sensory sensitivity so that everyone can enjoy experiences at the IMAX Theater regardless of their sensory processing needs.
During these sensory-friendly IMAX screenings, we present the movie in 2D format and make adjustments to reduce potential sensory triggers, including keeping lights slightly dimmed to help guests navigate the theater and reduce anxiety. We also lower the film's volume, limit the capacity of guests in the theater, and offer nearby tranquil spaces, like the IMAX Garden, for guests who may need to take a break.
We have a limited supply of noise-canceling headphones, weighted lap pads, and fidget items to loan guests during their visit. Guests may bring their own items or other calming tools as needed.
We hope viewers who enjoy Call of the Dolphins will join us for the next sensory-friendly IMAX screening of Elephants: Giants of the Desert on May 31.
