The Fort Wayne Zoo is improving accessibility with Sensory-Friendly Sundays.
Held the first Sunday each month, features include reduced noise on rides, dimmed lighting, and no music to create a calmer environment.
The event debuted May 3. Organizers say adjustments will be included in the Glo Wild l
