The experience will turn off flashing lights, music and other sounds to give these guests an opportunity to enjoy the fair.
The fair will have its Sensory Day from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.
“Sensory hours take place as the gates open for the day meaning fewer people on the grounds making it easier for individuals who might need extra time or have difficulty with larger crowds,” a release said.
There is free admission and free parking.
