Sensory Friendly Morning: Halloween Edition
About The Event
Sensory Friendly Morning is designed for families with neurodivergent children or teenagers to explore the museum at a quieter, less-crowded time. The recommended age for this experience is 10 and up, but all are welcome! The experience is self-guided, and guests can choose to participate in additional activities. Some exhibit elements will be adapted to accommodate sensitivities to light and sound.
On Sunday, October 25, from 8:30 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., all guests are invited to participate in our Halloween theme with optional, not-scary costumes and trick-or-treating around the galleries for fun fidgets, bookmarks, and mini-books.
Prior to the event, registered guests will receive pre-visit materials to help them prepare for their visit, including a social narrative and sensory map. Registered guests are welcome to drop in at any time during the event.
