Sensory Friendly Evenings
-
Monthly Sensory Friendly Evenings offer children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), physical or cognitive disabilities, or sensory processing considerations, and their families with a quieter museum experience. With extremely limited attendance, Sensory Friendly Evenings turn down the noise, crowds, and stimulation of a typical day. Sensory Friendly Evening admission is free and registration is required. Click here to register.
Sensory Friendly Evenings are supported by the Sifton Family Foundation, as well as Dr. Robert and Joan Boyce in loving memory of their daughters Ann Marie and Holly Leigh Boyce.
