universal changing table

For your convenience, we offer a universal changing table on the second floor. This table can be used for both children and adults up to 250 pounds.

sensory friendly backpacks

Upon request, we have quiet kits that contain items such as noise canceling headphones, sensory toys and visual supports, designed to enhance your child’s Museum experience. The headphones and sensory toys must be returned prior to your departure.

Sensory backpacks are available at the Museum Admissions desk, and can be requested upon arrival or as needed.

Backpacks include sensory manipulative and fidget toys, in addition to noise canceling headphones and sensory chew necklaces.

sensory-friendly rooms

If your child needs a break during their Museum visit, there are two quiet spaces located in the Museum; on the second floor inside our Moving Water Play Zone, and on the fourth floor across from our Person Centered Services Community Treehouse exhibit.

These sensory friendly rooms contain a space with special lighting, calming sensory elements that will help support children and families who need a break or are overwhelmed from the stimulating environment.
