Welcome to our Sensory Friendly Events Calendar List for the Myrtle Beach/Grand Strand area. Sensory Friendly restaurants are also listed.
All sensory friendly events are co-hosted by the Champion Autism Network (CAN).
Autism Travel Club
The CAN card has been replaced by the Autism Travel Club (ATC) digital card. Click here for more information on how to get your ATC digital card. Your ATC digital card is your “passport” to the many sensory-friendly attractions, restaurants, events and services that are available.
Upon arrival to participating businesses, showing the digital card is a simple and dignified way to identify as a family that has someone with autism, without needing to say a word.
With the Myrtle Beach/Grand Strand area becoming so autistic/sensory friendly, Myrtle Beach on the Cheap staff decided to put all the events, together, on one page for easier reference. Instead of trying to keep up with each individual business page with each special autistic event date, we have listed each event by date and business.
For more in-depth information on a particular event, registration information or ticket purchase information, please follow the links provided.
Note on trampoline parks It has been brought to our attention that trampoline jump parks may not allow a child who has face painting to participate in jump activities. Please call your chosen trampoline jump park for clarification.
We’re as excited as you are when we find a great event or deal! But remember -- events can change. Bargains can sell out. Weather can be unpredictable. The location nearest you may decide not to participate. And many venues reserve the right to change prices and hours without notice. Please double-check with the source to make sure an event is still happening or a deal is still good before you go.
