Sensory Friendly Morning is designed for families with neurodivergent children or teenagers to explore the museum at a quieter, less-crowded time. The recommended age for this experience is 10 and up, but all are welcome! The experience is self-guided, and guests can choose to participate in additional activities. Some exhibit elements will be adapted to accommodate sensitivities to light and sound.  

All guests are invited to participate in our Halloween theme with optional, not-scary costumes and trick-or-treating around the galleries for fun fidgets, bookmarks, and mini-books.  

Prior to the event, registered guests will receive pre-visit materials to help them prepare for their visit including a social narrative and sensory map. Registered guests are welcome to drop in any time during the event. 

“The sensory friendly experience was so wonderful for our kiddo who LOVES words and reading but is easily overwhelmed by crowds and noise.” — Parent
