Sensory Room

Through consultation with the University of South Florida – Center for Autism and Related Disabilities (CARD), the Rays designed and constructed a Sensory Room with the intent to provide a safe space for those with sensory processing needs. Located in Suite 45 on our 200 level, the Sensory Room provides a quiet area where guests can decompress if they feel overwhelmed or overstimulated. Guests will find fun items in the Sensory Room that offer a safe and relaxing environment while stimulating or calming specific senses. Guests entering the Rays Sensory Room must be 18 or be accompanied by an adult.

For access to the room, please visit Guest Services at Gates 1, 3, and 4.

We ask that guests limit their time in the Sensory Room to 20 minutes to accommodate others visiting the ballpark. If you are uncomfortable sharing the Sensory Room with others, please vacate the room and wait until the space is unoccupied.

Items in the Sensory Room Include:

  • Bean Bag Chair

  • TV

  • Refrigerator

  • Baseball Rug

  • Sound Dampening Wall Panels

Sensory Specific Items Include:

  • Marble Wall: Turn the 2,000 marbles with built-in LED lighting to receive visual, tactile, and aural sensory input that produces a delightful calming sensation.

  • Liquid Floor Tile: Play and dance on these beautiful colored tiles to experience soothing and relaxing entertainment.

  • LED Bubble Wall: Watch the LED lights change colors as the bubbles float up the tank to simulate a soothing and calming effect.

  • Noise Machine: Choose from 6 digitally recorded relaxing Sounds: White Noise, Thunder, Ocean, Rain, Summer Night, and Brook.

  • Sensory Play Panels: Interact with multiple wall panels featuring puzzles, mirrors, and tactile elements that promote imagination and hands-on play.

  • Heat Sensitive Panel: Finger paint on the unique heat-sensitive wall panel and watch colors come to life, creating a visual and tactile sensory experience.

  • Dynamic Ripple Lamp: Watch the ambient lighting create calming, ocean wave patterns for a soothing visual experience.

Restrooms

While the room does not have an attached restroom, they are just a short walk away from the room.
