SENSORY SATURDAY
MARCH 29 | 5:30 - 7:30 PM
SEPTEMBER 6 | 5:30 - 7:30 PM
To be more inclusive of our neurodiverse community, we offer Sensory Saturdays, which are designed to be lower stimulation by reducing the number of people, lower lighting and less noise. Sensory Saturday is a free opportunity for families to explore the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History in a safe, understanding environment. Sensory Saturday will provide guests and members with sensory needs a space to interact with other families and learn about what opportunities the community has to offer.
Additionally, sensory backpacks and noise-canceling headphones are available to borrow for guests who do not have their own.
Every first Wednesday of the month, lighting and sound will be adjusted to accomodate Museum visitors needs from 3PM - 5PM. This is included with regular admission.
