Sensory Friendly Time is a special program for families with children with sensory processing disorders or 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. 

Families visiting during the morning sessions are welcome to stay after general admission opens at 9am.
