The Sensory-Space is an interactive sensory adventure, based at the Children's Memorial Institute in Johannesburg South Africa. 

We have a range of themed rooms that are designed to help you explore your various sensory systems in a fun and engaging way.

It is the perfect space for you and your children to come and have fun, unwind and reconnect with your sensory systems.
