Sensory-Friendly Morning at the Academy of Natural Sciences
February 9 @ 9:00 am - 11:00 am
Enjoy a calmer museum experience during Sensory-Friendly Mornings! Designed for visitors of all ages, especially those with sensory sensitivities, these special mornings offer a more comfortable way to explore.
Here’s what you can expect:
- Skip the lines with advanced ticketing.
- Smaller crowds for a more relaxed visit.
- Softer sounds in exhibitions, with soundscapes and dinosaur roars turned down or off.
- A quiet, relaxing space available if needed.
- Plenty of time to explore our signature and special exhibits at your own pace.
- Noise-canceling headphones and fidget toys available.
- Understanding and helpful staff ready to share science with you!
Pre-registration is required to ensure a positive experience for everyone. While walk-ins will be accommodated if space allows, reserving your tickets in advance is strongly recommended due to the program’s popularity and to help families avoid lines.
