And honestly… this is such a thoughtful initiative.
This special experience is designed for kids (and adults) with autism, sensory sensitivities, or who are neurodivergent—so they can enjoy the museum in a way that actually feels comfortable.
Here’s what makes it different:
✨ Lower capacity (less crowding)
✨ Reduced or no background noise
✨ Softer lighting in select areas
✨ Some high-stimulation exhibits adjusted or turned off
Basically… it creates a calmer, more manageable environment.
And as moms, we know how important that is.
You’ll also be able to move at your own pace—take breaks, step out, come back in—no pressure.
Tickets are limited (which I love for this type of event), and you’ll want to grab them in advance. They’re $19.99 per person.
Even better?
This isn’t just a one-time thing for Autism Awareness Month. They’re planning to roll out monthly sensory-friendly hours, which is a HUGE win for families in our community.
Bottom line:
More inclusive experiences like this matter. And it’s really great to see local places making it happen.
