The Sensory Break Room is is located in suite 4101 on the 4th floor of the Hyatt Regency, next to the parenting room. With training and support provided by the Autism Society of Minnesota, it is the ideal place to take a break with minimal distractions. Loud activity and other distracting behavior is discouraged. Sound and light will be filtered. Fidget toys and other activities will be available to help visitors quietly reenergize.
