KultureCity-Certified Venues in Metro Detroit

Story by Charlotte Bachelor

Detroit is home to several Sensory Inclusive certified venues. At these locations, guests can access sensory bags free of charge that include noise-canceling headphones, fidgets, verbal cue cards, weighted lap pads, and quiet areas to decompress. Guests can request a bag at each venue’s guest services area.

KultureCity is an organization making spaces more accessible for people with Autism, PTSD, Dementia, and other disabilities that can cause sensory issues. They provide training to venue employees through their Sensory Inclusive certification program—which has certified over 550 locations in the US.
