CRIS Solutions
CRISAccess created both audio exhibits and audio sensory bags with QR Code signs that trigger audio descriptions and information about aquamarine life located in particular exhibits.
“As Connecticut’s largest cultural attraction, Mystic Aquarium is excited to continue to collaborate with CRIS Radio and its CRISAccess program. This program furthers our efforts to increase accessibility across our campus and offers new opportunities to guests with disabilities to enhance learning about the ocean and its inhabitants. We applaud CRIS Radio for working diligently to ensure everyone has the opportunity to learn what is happening in their world, both here at Mystic Aquarium and beyond.”
