What to expect:

Some of our exhibits, those that may be loud or bright, may be off from the hours of 8:30am to 10am.

Our classroom will be a designated quiet space. The lights will be off, there will be a few tables for coloring/drawing, texture bins, or just sitting and enjoying the space. Bean bags and pillows available for use. Soft music will be optional (Separate quiet space by glacial exhibit).

Sensory Packs/gear available at request from the front desk, supplies are limited and will need to be returned either at the end of your stay, or after a specific time limit.

All exhibits will be turned on at 10AM. Everyone is welcome to stay, but do so at your own discretion.
