The Especially for Me event series offers dedicated hours and free admission for families with disabilities. During these events, we offer accommodations that increase access to exhibits and provide an opportunity for families to network with one another in an understanding, ADA-compliant environment.

While the event titles indicate the focus for certain program accommodations, any family that would benefit from a sensory friendly visit is welcome at any time. A medical diagnosis is not required.

You can prepare for your visit by reviewing our Discovery Museum Social Story, linked below in eight languages or available at our Admissions Desk. You might also visit the Exhibits section of our website, review our Accessibility page. We now offer a designated “Take a Break” space during these events.
