Hidden Disabilities Sunflower
Agrodome is a proud participant in the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower Lanyard programme. If you or someone in your family or group have a hidden disability, you can choose to wear a Sunflower Lanyard and make your disability visible to our staff. We are trained to recognise the Sunflower Lanyard and understand that you or your family may need a little extra support, guidance or time while you are with us.
We have several sensory kits available to borrow while you are visiting Agrodome. Each kit contains fidget toys, squeezable toys, earmuffs, sunglasses and the Accessibility Guide, all in a backpack ready to go. Ask on arrival, or book one at accessible@agrodome.co.nz
