For children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and sensory processing sensitivities. During this time, you and your child will experience the museum without the noise, crowds or the stimulation of a regular day. Our staff has worked with local partners to ready the museum. Based on their feedback, lights, exhibits and noise will be adjusted. A calming area is located in Discovery Room B, near Kansas in Miniature.
