Sensory-Friendly Morning at the Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University

May 10, 2025 @ 9:00 am - 11:00 am

Sensory-friendly mornings can be a comfortable, calmer way for museum visitors, especially those with sensory sensitivities, to explore the museum. These mornings will include:

  • Advanced ticketing to help avoid lines
  • Smaller crowds
  • More tranquil sounds in exhibitions whenever possible, with soundscapes and roaring dinosaurs softened or turned off
  • An available quiet and relaxing space
  • Time to explore our signature and special exhibits and wander through the dioramas at your own pace.
  • Noise cancelling headphones and fidget toys available for guests
  • Understanding, empathetic staff ready to help and share science with you!

Guests of all ages are welcome. Preregistration is required to ensure a calm, positive experience for all guests.
