Explore the museum in a comfortable and accepting environment that features fewer guests, light and sound reduction, extra visual safety signage, and designated quiet areas that include sensory friendly toys. Enjoy a free visit to the relaxing Dancing Wings Butterfly Garden before noon. Plus, delight in story readings with the Unicorn Princess at 10 and 11 a.m.
