Join us for a special evening, which is free for families with children on the autism spectrum or with sensory processing challenges. During this event, the Museum will be made more welcoming to our more sensitive guests, along with having some quiet corners and sensory bins set-up throughout the facility. Children will be able to choose what activities they would like to participate in and do them at whatever time they feel most comfortable within the two-hour time frame.Meet the Animals with special guests High Hopes
Participants will have the opportunity to meet and interact with ponies from our friends at High Hopes Therapeutic Riding! Our Museum animals (AKA the Museum stars) Jango the Bearded Dragon, Loki the Leopard Gecko and Mr. Rogers the Russian Tortoise will also make some special appearances.
Free to attend. Pre-registration is required nianticchildrensmuseum.org/event/sensory-friendly-evening-meet-the-animals-6
