Sensory Room
A Quiet Space for Calm and Comfort
The Sensory Room at Adelaide Airport is a dedicated quiet space designed for passengers who may need a break from the busy terminal environment. It provides a calming, low-sensory retreat for travellers who experience stress, sensory overwhelm, or who simply need time away from crowds and noise. Family members, friends, carers and support workers are welcome to enter the room with the passenger.
The Sensory Room may be helpful for passengers who:
Find noise, bright lights or crowds overwhelming
Feel nervous or stressed about flying
Need a quiet space to rest before travelling
The room has been designed to offer a soothing, stress-free environment, featuring:
- adjustable soft lighting
- comfortable seating and small nooks to sit or lie down
- calming images displayed on screens
- soft tactile items
- a selection of fidget tools
- One unobtrusive arrivals/departures board
Travellers are also welcome to bring their own comfort items such as headphones, fidgets or blankets.
The Sensory Room is free to use.
