Sensory Friendly Hours

Families with members who have sensory processing needs are invited to explore the museum galleries with reduced audio and visual elements. Calming spaces with support materials (including single use ear plugs, sunglasses, fidget toys, etc.) will be available.

Museum experts will be on-hand to talk for as little (or as long) as you want about dinosaurs, rocks, gems, animals, bugs, and much more. These are some of our favorite things, too! Every program is designed to welcome all ages and abilities. To provide the most sensory friendly environment possible, advance registration is required for programs that occur outside normal museum hours.
