What is a Sensory Friendly Screening?
Sensory Friendly Screenings are a great way to watch movies in an inclusive, low pressure environment for all. Audiences can freely walk, talk, and rock as they enjoy quality, first-run programming in a relaxed environment.
The Prospector Theater’s Sensory Friendly Screenings ensure that all of our guests have the opportunity to enjoy the movie in a safe and inclusive environment!
Who can benefit from a Sensory Friendly Screening?
The once a month screenings are set up for those with sensory sensitivities to relax and enjoy.
In short - everyone!
Young children, new moviegoers, and anyone with sensory sensitivities all benefit from an inclusive space, curated with their needs in mind. Our Sensory Friendly experience is the gold standard, and we hope to welcome you to enjoy a film with us soon.
Anyone can enjoy a Sensory Friendly Screening. Therefore, everyone is welcome to attend.
When is the next Sensory Friendly Screening?
