** Please note that December's Sensory Play Time will be held on the third Friday of the month due to holiday break **
Play under the lights and learn about light festivals around the world in our annual special holiday event.
Our Sensory Friendly play time is for children on the autism spectrum or with other sensory sensitivities and their families to connect and explore.
All regular exhibits will be open. We will have sensory bins, communication boards, and the holiday lights create a low light calming space throughout the entire museum.
