Join us for a reduced-sensory experience at the Museum
$5 per person | OMSI members receive complimentary admission
Low sensory hours provide a less stressful experience for people who are sensitive to too much sensory input (noise, crowds, smells, lighting, etc.).
Enjoy OMSI in a sensory-friendly environment! This event is especially welcoming for families and adults who are looking for a smaller, more adaptive museum experience.
Upcoming Low Sensory Hours
This year, OMSI will offer three opportunities for guests to visit the museum with more lighting, less sound, and fewer people. Additional dates coming soon!
