NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TX, UNITED STATES, December 10, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Texas’s first PEPPA PIG Theme Park has partnered with The International Board of Credentialing and Continuing Education Standards (IBCCES).

The park will earn accreditation as a Certified Autism Center™ (CAC) in time for its grand opening on March 1, 2025.

In order to accredit PEPPA PIG Theme Park, IBCCES will provide and require the following:

• Staff-wide autism sensitivity and awareness training

• An onsite review conducted by IBCCES to develop detailed sensory guides

• Increased accessibility and support for visitors

The accreditation will provide the proper tools to promote awareness and show families the access options available to plan their ultimate day of adventure.

“Merlin Entertainments is uncompromising about safety, security and welfare, setting the highest standards for all our guests and team members,” says Jeremy Aguillar, PEPPA PIG Theme Park Dallas-Fort Worth General Manager.

“We’re proud this certification allows our attraction to be accessible to many more little ones and their families with specific sensory needs.”

The park also offers accessible rides, entertainment venues and play areas that will appeal to guests and team members with accessibility needs:

• Peppa Pig’s Balloon Ride includes wheelchair accessible baskets so guests are able to roll onto the ride without needing to leave their chairs.

• The ground at Muddy Puddles Splash Pad is specially graded for wheelchair use and water play elements are curated so guests of all heights can enjoy.

• Peppa’s Pedal Bike Tour includes sensory rich details and is designed to meet all ADA guidelines and standards.

“So many families are looking for accessible and welcoming options, and we're thrilled to work with PEPPA PIG Theme Park Dallas-Fort Worth to provide another option for autistic and sensory-sensitive visitors to play and have fun,” shares Myron Pincomb, IBCCES board chairman.

For those with a passion for creating playful and memorable experiences, PEPPA PIG Theme Park Dallas-Fort Worth will host a career fair on December 14th and 15th from 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. The park is hiring for full and part-time positions in retail, operations, facilities, entertainment, food and beverage and more.
