Exploring Our Way

Sensory Friendly Playtime

EOW Studio Families 01

For some children with autism spectrum or sensory processing disorders, a visit to museums like ours is challenging or over-stimulating. The Exploring Our Way: Sensory Friendly Playtimes are exclusive to families of children with special needs. These FREE monthly, low-sensory events are designed for children with autism spectrum or sensory processing disorders allowing them to explore the Museum along with their families without the noise, crowds, and stimulation of a typical day.

Upcoming Dates:

FULL - Sunday, March 3, 1-3pm >>

Tuesday, April 2, 1-3pm >>

Sunday, May 5, 1-3pm >>

The museum is closed to the public during these monthly Exploring Our Way playtimes. We limit the number of families who can attend, turn down sounds and lights, provide a quiet zone with sensory activities away from the exhibit floor and have noise cancelling headphones to borrow. A medical diagnosis is not required. Online reservations are required, but are totally free.
