SENSORY ROOM

The Gabba is now officially an accredited Sensory venue,  featuring a ‘Sensory Room’ - a highly absorbing, quiet and calm environment which can help to provide a calm and comfortable oasis for overactive and distressed individuals. 
 
The room includes sensory conscious games, quiet cubicles, tactile wall panels and bean bags to assist children and others who are overwhelmed in a stadium environment.  The room is located in a low traffic quite, away from the busy stadium environment, on level 2 near Gate 4 and can be accessed on event days. During your visit to the Gabba, event staff can assist you with any questions you might have, if you get lost or need help locating the Sensory Room, look for the Gabba branded T-Shirts,  venue staff have undergone Sensory Inclusive Training 101 with KultureCity and are happy to help. 

Sensory bags, equipped with noise cancelling headphones, fidget tools, visual cue cards and weighted lap pads will also be available to all guests who may feel overwhelmed by the environment which gives them the option to enjoy the show with their family or group.
