Unseen Worlds – A Journey Beyond Sight
Can you envision a visit to the park—without sight? Or a walk with a trained guide dog—while blindfolded? Now you can, thanks to an innovative, interactive experience at our world-renowned campus in Palmetto, Florida.
Explore novel dimensions in sound and space inside a virtual-reality park—from the perspective of a person who is blind. Experience a hands-on, blindfolded stroll through our tranquil gardens—while holding the harness of a superbly trained guide dog. Hear from someone with vision loss how their own guide dog offers freedom and confidence. And warm your heart with an up-close-and-personal encounter with one of our special puppies!
You’ll walk away with new insights into how our extraordinary dogs help people discover hope beyond sight.
Due to the intimate nature of this experience, attendance is limited to just six guests per event. Reserve your spot today.
