Sensory programs at the Discovery Center are thoughtfully designed for individuals on the autism spectrum or with other sensory processing differences. During scheduled times, our exhibit hall will adopt lower lighting, decreased noise levels, and focus on learning with the senses. All who would benefit from a lower sensory experience and hands-on learning are welcome!

Cost: $5 per participant

Walk-ins are welcome, or you can purchase tickets via the links below.
