About the Event

**This event has been cancelled. The Museum will remain closed through April 30.***

‍

Children with autism spectrum disorder and their families are invited to experience the Museum with dimmed lights, limited extra sounds and no distracting motions during this private event. Extra signage is added to help visitors determine things not to climb on, and entrances between exhibits where it is good to stop and wait for an adult before continuing. Our Sensory Friendly Days offer a wonderful relief from extra stimuli. These exclusive events include the following modifications:

‍

Less crowded environment

Light and sound reduction

Extra visual safety signage

Designated quiet rooms

‍

April is World Autism Month so we invite you to wear blue and make 2020 the Year of Kindness.

‍

*Please note, the Museum is closed to the public for this special event. Registration is required.*
