Sensory Friendly Evening: The Submarine Growler

The Intrepid Museum offers Sensory Friendly Evenings for teens (14+) and adults with autism or sensory sensitivities. 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.

Submarines are one of the most unique experiences in the Navy! Explore the submarine Growler and the A View from the Deep exhibition to learn more about the adventures and challenges of life underwater.

A View from the Deep: The Submarine Growler & the Cold War is fully accessible. The submarine Growler is a narrow, one-way experience that requires the use of stairs and stepping through raised hatches. Any guest who wants to go through Growler is required to go through a practice hatch without assistance first.
