What if I have sensitivity to flashing lights or loud noises?

Meow Wolf brings together art and technology through a unique, immersive storytelling experience! We understand that this may be overwhelming for some guests, and we strive to provide a balance of environments for all participants to experience.

Meow Wolf exhibitions feature:

  • dark spaces
  • low lighting
  • low overhangs
  • tight spaces
  • crawl spaces
  • narrow walkways
  • steep stairways
  • flashing/strobe lights
  • theatrical fog effects
  • music
  • some loud noises
  • textural materials

There are many spaces or rooms throughout the exhibitions that are designed for more minimal sensory experiences and therefore might offer a respite for participants seeking a quiet space. If you are concerned about light and noise sensitivity, we encourage you to explore and discover these quiet spaces.

Look for signage near areas that may contain flashing lights.

 

Meow Wolf has completed a company-wide accreditation to enhance the guest experience in partnership with the International Board of Credentialing and Continuing Education Standards (IBCCES) to complete the Certified Autism Centerâ„¢ certification. 

Meow Wolf has implemented several measures to ensure an inclusive and accessible experience for all visitors, including:

  • Sensory Items and Bags: Provided as complementary to support visitors who may be overwhelmed by the sights and sounds of the installations. Guests have access to noise-reduction headphones, sunglasses, and sensory toys.
  • Staff training: Meow Wolf staff have received training on how to interact with visitors with cognitive disabilities or sensitivities, and are equipped with the knowledge and skills to provide a welcoming and supportive environment.
  • Audio Description Tour: Meow Wolf Denver designed an audio experience specifically for audience members who are blind or have low vision, allowing for a more inclusive experience of the exhibition using storytelling, touch exploration and play.
  • Visual Description: Meow Wolf provides Aira Visual Interpreting services at no cost for individuals who are blind or have low vision. It utilizes a live, human-to-human interaction with a trained agent who visually interprets objects and surroundings using a combination of a camera and the Aira app on the user's smartphone.
