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.

Kids will enjoy hands-on learning activities while families learn about local resources from community organizations, including Advanced Sacred Hope Academy, Beyond Expectations / Lotus Learning & Arts Center, Emerald Coast Autism Center, Fort Walton Beach Police Department, Fort Walton Beach Public Library, Military & Family Readiness Center Exceptional Family Members Program, Okaloosa County School District, Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office Crime Prevention Unit, Pyramid Fort Walton Beach, Sinfonia Gulf Coast, Special Olympics Florida – Northwest Region, Spectrum Getaways, and Western Panhandle Early Steps.

WSRE will provide learning resources from PBS KIDS and activities from the new children’s program “Carl the Collector,” which follows the everyday adventures of a warm-hearted autistic raccoon who enjoys collecting things and loves his friends and family in Fuzzytown. 

Amazing Kids Day will accommodate a limited number of children, so online registration is requested. Admission is free!

Event details and registration for Amazing Kids Day Pensacola are coming soon!
