The Niagara Aquarium is teaming up with partners from Western New York and Rochester to promote accessibility among the Deaf and hard of hearing community.
In collaboration with People Inc., Seneca Park Zoo, RIT/NTID, and Rochester School for the Deaf, we will have interpreters on site to interpret our live programming and presentations throughout the weekend. ASL-interpretation at the Aquarium will be generously provided by People, Inc.
New this year, we will offer interpreted tours of the Aquarium at 10:30am and 12:30pm both days. (Advance registration is required.) We will also have representatives from RIT/NTID on Saturday to share ASL signs for popular aquatic animals.
But the fun extends beyond the weekend! 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.
