Sensory friendly days
Loading...
Enjoy a comfortable environment for kids and adults with a variety of sensory differences.
On Sensory-Friendly Days our new exhibitions and activity areas will be open extra early or late for a quieter experience and modified to suit people on the Autism spectrum and visitors with a range of differing abilities.
Our trained staff and volunteers will be on hand to assist with access and facilitate creative activities.
For our Summer sessions, we're offering access to all the museum galleries including Ocean Photographer of the Year and Ultimate Depth: Journey to the bottom of the Sea exhibition.
Visitors can enjoy access to Submarine HMAS Onslow and our creative activity areas before opening hours, as well as an Underwater drones workshop (suitable for visitors 7+ years).
