Sensory Friendly Hours

Sensory Friendly Hours are specially designed museum visits for children and adults who benefit from a calmer, less overwhelming environment. During these times, museums typically reduce crowds, lower noise levels, dim bright lighting, and create a more relaxed pace so visitors can explore at their own speed. These sessions are ideal for families with autistic children, those with sensory sensitivities, anxiety, or anyone who finds typical museum visits stressful. Staff are trained to be patient and understanding, making art and learning accessible to everyone.
