About the Event
Amazing Kids Day is a free and sensory-friendly event for children with special needs to explore fun and educational activities. At the same time, their grown-ups can learn about local family resources available from WSRE PBS and participating community partners. Two events are held each year—one in Escambia County and one in Okaloosa County.
