Programs and Events

Every Wednesday
​8:30-9:30 am

A special time in the museum just for our littlest visitors ( 3 years and under only) and their caregivers.  8:30-9:30 am (but you can stay for the day). This is also a great time to learn about your child's development.  We have a developmental and occupational therapist playing in the museum during WOW to answer any questions you may have during this time. $5 per person.

Wednesday, December 11
5:00-7:00 pm

This two hour low sensory play session is for families with children who would benefit from a more relaxed atmosphere at the museum. Join us the second Wednesday of each month from 5:00 to 7:00 pm.  

Pre-registration is required. Please register each person attending the play session.  In order to maintain a sensory friendly environment we are limiting capacity. $5 per person.

Therapists from Key Autism Services will be playing in the museum and available for questions about your child's needs.
