Sensory Friendly

Museums are for everyone! Join us for a sensory-friendly evening designed for anyone seeking a more relaxed museum experience, regardless of age or ability, as well as their caregivers and families.

At this FREE event, you’ll have access to the Museum as well as an opportunity to take a sensory-friendly submarine tour aboard USS COBIA! Loud exhibit sounds will be turned down, and our Sensory Backpacks will be out! These backpacks include: visual schedules, weighted lap blankets, social narratives, headphones, fidgets, and a communication book. Please note that these backpacks are available to check out for use in the Museum at any time.

The Wisconsin Maritime Museum welcomes all people to connect with Wisconsin’s waterways. Learn more about our upcoming events here: https://bit.ly/WMMEventsCalendar"
