Dining in the Dark is Lighthouse Central Florida’s unique dining experience meant to offer an immersive encounter into a world of taste, smell, sound, and texture — all in total darkness.
This event illustrates the isolating condition that can result from vision loss. Guests are treated to a multi-course gourmet meal and are served by members of the Orlando Police Department’s SWAT team who navigate the pitch-black room outfitted in night-vision goggles. As the meal concludes and the lights slowly come up, guests emerge from the experience with a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by individuals with vision loss.
