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.
