Sensory Sensitive Science Hours are held on select Sunday mornings, and sensory sensitive events are held on select days throughout the year. Exhibit lights and sound effects are adjusted and special hands-on activities are added to foster a safe and welcoming environment for all visitors.
Whenever possible, low-sensory versions of shows and demonstrations are hosted by Buhl Planetarium, Live Demonstration Theaters, and other departments. Early entry is also offered on these days to provide reduced wait times and a calmer entry experience.
Stay tuned for future events!
