Joining a growing number of businesses and public services, the Australian LEGO Certified stores are launching their own low-sensory shopping experience starting on Tuesday 12th April. Read on for the official press release.
For those that don’t know, low-sensory experiences are designed to help people who might experience hypersensitivity to large amounts of noise, light and touch- for example. This approach is literally designed to help them experience the joy of the LEGO stores without feeling overwhelmed.
Having seen this kind of service in action, and knowing some people with children affected by hypersensitivity, this is great to see! I really hope that a lot of people get a huge amount of joy and fulfilment from this!

During Quiet Hour, customers will notice key changes within AG LEGO Certified Stores including reduced store lighting, music turned down or o and register and scanner volumes reduced to the lowest level possible.

“Quiet Hour hopes to bring a sense of normalcy to individuals who find themselves overwhelmed by stronger sensory inputs as AG LEGO Certified Stores seeks to best support all members of our growing brick-fan community.”
Confirmed Quiet Hour dates for 2022 include 12th April, 10th May, 14th June, 12th July, 9th August, 13th September, 11th October, 8th November and 13th December.
