Pop in to Crafternoon! This drop-in art experience allows young learners to explore artistic mediums and craft their own creations in a flexible format. Each month, we will feature a different artistic medium and offer drop-in hours for little artists to come and create. No need to be "on time" or stay for the full session - drop in when you wish and stay as long as you'd like!

Crafternoon is open to all ages, but is reccomended for ages 3+. This experience is available to all Museum guests (Museum admission or membership is required!)

Sensory Friendly Time is a special program for families with children with sensory processing disorders and other special needs. During these sessions, CMC provides exclusive access to the Museum for families who thrive in a less crowded and lower-stimulation environment.

This program aims to bring families together to learn through play in a space that supports the unique needs of their children. Guests are encouraged to bring adaptive equipment to support a comfortable visit. CMC has noise-reducing headphones and sensory support kits available at our front desk upon request. There are limited quantities, available on a first-come first-serve basis.

Families visiting during the morning sessions are welcome to stay after general admission opens at 9am. Pre-registration is not required!
