Sensory-Friendly Sessions

We understand a visit to the Museum can present challenges for some families. We have worked to create an event where children can enjoy our Museum experience in a calmer, quieter space. We hope our Sensory-Friendly Sessions will provide opportunities to navigate social situations, encourage peer-to-peer interaction and develop confidence through play.

Our sessions include open-play and facilitated programming. The Museum may welcome trusted community partners to attend to provide resources and answer questions. 

Purchase a Sensory-Friendly Play Pass 
A Sensory-Friendly Play Pass provides admission for up to four (4) people to each of our Sensory-Friendly sessions, valid for a full year. The pass cannot be applied to regular Museum admission.
Ask us about our Sensory-Friendly Passes during your next visit! Passes can only be purchased at the Museum.
