Sensory Friendly Evening: Hangar Deck

The Intrepid Museum offers Sensory Friendly Evenings for teens (14+) and adults with autism. Explore the Intrepid Museum after hours during a fun sensory-friendly evening with friends and family. All registrants receive a social narrative before the program.

Explore the hangar deck where airplanes were stored, repaired and refueled while Intrepid was in service. Take your time after hours to explore exhibits, meet some of Intrepid’s former crew members, and learn what it was like to live on board. Explore the Museum’s newest exhibit about the ship’s Photo Lab and try out our optional photography challenges!
