The Achill Experience Aquarium & Visitor Centre say The Sensory Room has been created to provide a calm, welcoming and accessible environment for visitors who may benefit from a quieter space during their visit.

The Achill Experience Aquarium & Visitor Centre marked an important milestone on Wednesday, June 10, with the official opening of its new Sensory Room, a dedicated space designed to enhance accessibility and inclusion for visitors of all ages.

The facility was officially opened by Councillor Paul McNamara, with the event also attended by the Cathaoirleach of Mayo County Council, Councillor Sean Carey, who joined guests and supporters in celebrating the occasion.

A special blessing of the room was performed by Fr Ignatius, who offered a prayer for all who will use and benefit from the new facility in the years ahead.
