Tayto Park 

Tayto Park, Ireland’s only theme park and zoo is delighted to announce that on Sunday 12^th May a special Autism Awareness Day will take place to support and raise awareness for autism in Ireland. On the day, Tayto Park will be creating an autism friendly environment with the intention of allowing parents of children with autism and their families enjoy all the facilities and attractions available at Tayto Park.

Small changes at Tayto Park will include no music being played throughout the park, no hand dryers will be turned on for the duration of the day and queues for the attractions will be kept to a minimum during this time. In preparation for this special day, Tayto Park has created social stories (a visual guide describing the various social interactions, situations, behaviours and skills that they may encounter on the day) which will detail all attractions open on the day and help children with autism break down each social situation into steps that can be fully understood.
