** Please note that November's Sensory Play Time will be on the third Friday of the month due to the Thanksgiving holiday **
The fourth Friday of each month is our Sensory Friendly play time for children on the autism spectrum or with other sensory sensitivities and their families to connect and explore in a calm and quieter space.
All regular exhibits will be open. We will have sensory bins, communication boards, and a low light calming space.
