Deaf Culture
Awareness Weekend

October 11th

Celebrate Deaf Culture Awareness Day at Seneca Park Zoo — a day dedicated to inclusivity, connection, and the vibrant Deaf and hard-of-hearing community.

Celebrate Deaf Culture at the Zoo

In partnership with Rochester School for the Deaf and the National Technical Institute for the Deaf, this annual event invites guests of all ages to explore the Zoo while engaging with Deaf culture through interactive experiences, educational opportunities, and accessible programming. ASL interpreters will be on site throughout the day, and many Zoo talks and demonstrations will include interpretation to ensure everyone can fully participate and enjoy their visit.

This year, we’re excited to expand the celebration by partnering with the Aquarium of Niagara, strengthening our shared commitment to making spaces where everyone feels welcome and inspired.

All October long, bring your Aquarium of Niagara receipt to Seneca Park Zoo for $2 off admission, or show your Zoo receipt at the Aquarium of Niagara for $5 off admission.

 **Please note**  This limited-time discount does not combine with Museums for All or the AZA reciprocal admission discounts we offer.
