Sensory-Friendly Mornings are inclusive events for individuals and families with neurodiverse or accessibility needs. Guests can explore our exhibits and galleries in a comfortable, welcoming and less crowded environment. Wherever possible, exhibits will have adjusted operations and lowered volume levels from 8–11am. Volume levels and exhibit operations will return to their usual settings at 11am. Guests are welcome to stay and explore Science World as long as they wish.
Please note, as this is a special event, Community Access Passes are not valid for admission.
From 8–11am, Sensory-Friendly guests can enjoy these amenities:
- Access to galleries and exhibits before we open to the public at 10am
- Light and sound modifications
- Designated sensory break room
- Centre Stage show with reduced noise
- Additional signage
Resources for your visit:
