Sensory Days are for adults and families of children, teenagers and young adults with disabilities including intellectual disabilities, autism, sensory processing disorders and other cognitive disabilities. Guests will get access to the Museum, during off-hours*, where they can explore and self-guide through the galleries with adjusted light and sound for the best possible experience.
To enhance the experience, we often provide hands-on, family activities for Sensory Day participants. Find us in the Side Gallery next to the Kids Flight Zone.
Sensory Days are intended as a positive and meaningful experience for families visiting The Museum of Flight.
*Aviation Pavilion and Simonyi Space Gallery will open at 9:00 AM.
Event Details:
The next Sensory Days experience is June, 2024 -- Date TBD
