Join us for Sunset at Southwick’s Zoo, an Autism Welcoming Experience, as we celebrate our 10th Anniversary on Thursday, June 4, 2026, from 6:00–8:00 p.m. at Southwick’s Zoo in Mendon, MA.
This beloved annual event offers individuals with autism and their families a peaceful, sensory‑friendly evening at the zoo. With the grounds closed to the general public, you’ll enjoy a calm environment with no bright lights, rides, or gift shop. If the weather cooperates, we’ll also have a special opportunity to see the giraffes up close.
To mark our 10th anniversary, we’re celebrating in the best way possible: Thanks to the generosity of our donors, this event is free for all attendees. Please note: Only 225 tickets are available, and registration is required.
