Sensory Hours

In addition to Sensory Backpacks and noise reducing headphones (always available to borrow, free of charge, at the Gift Shop Front Desk), HCFM offers Sensory Hours on select days throughout the year. During this time, exhibit lights and sound effects are adjusted and special hands-on activities are added to foster a safe, welcoming, and, most of all, fun environment for all visitors.

Enjoy a self-guided museum visit including sensory-friendly demos and hands-on activities, and adjusted exhibit lights and sound effects throughout the museum. No band organs will be played during Sensory Hours. Regular admission pricing.
*Kiddieland will not be open during Sensory Hours.*
