2024 Sensory Mornings

Join us for a series of sensory events, designed for guests with sensory sensitivities or special needs who might benefit from a less-crowded environment. These experiences will provide a quieter and calmer environment for guests to explore the museum, experience the nature trails of WildWoods, and enjoy a sensory-friendly film screening in the Giant Screen Theater. 

Early Museum Access | 9 a.m.  
Explore indoor exhibits and outdoor nature experiences at your own pace, an hour before our normal opening. 

Sensory-Friendly Giant Screen Film | 10:15 a.m.
Enjoy a movie screening with modified lighting, lowered volume and no need for 3D glasses. Featured movies vary based on date.


Sunday, November 17 
Featured movie — T. Rex
