The Museum opens early for families with children on the autism spectrum and children with sensory processing disorders.
We offer a sensory-modified experience on select Sunday mornings. This experience includes a sensory-modified setting, limited admission and sound adjustments. Sensory Packs are available upon request at the Welcome Center.
We also have a social story to help prepare families for their Museum experience.
