Sensory Friendly Time

About this event

Sensory Friendly Time is a special program for families with children with sensory processing disorders and other special needs. During these sessions, CMC provides exclusive access to the Museum for families who thrive in a less crowded and lower-stimulation environment.

This program aims to bring families together to learn through play in a space that supports the unique needs of their children. Guests are encouraged to bring adaptive equipment to support a comfortable visit. CMC has noise-reducing headphones and sensory support kits available at our front desk upon request. There are limited quantities, available on a first-come first-serve basis.

Families visiting during the morning sessions are welcome to stay after general admission opens at 9am. Pre-registration is not required!

What to expect:

• Special hours (outside of general operating hours) offering a quieter and less crowded environment.

• Private Sensory Friendly Room for respite / sensory breaks.

• 8 hands-on exhibits for children to learn through play, explore, and create.

• The opportunity to connect with other families in your community.
