Visitors can also explore the historic buildings located outside on the museum’s grounds.
An indoor museum sensory map will be available for download, and printed copies will be available at the museum’s front desk. Please also visit the front desk to check out items within the museum’s sensory-friendly item box, which includes noise-reducing headphones, fidget toys, squishable handheld foam balls, a weighted lap blanket, coloring books, and more. A limited number of each item is available.
Some noise-making and light displays will be temporarily unavailable during these hours.
