Join us for a sensory-friendly evening developed for guests with disabilities.

Enjoy a less crowded environment as you get hands-on with activities designed to pique curiosity and inspire discovery. The event features accommodations for guest sensitivities to lights and sounds.

• Explore the complexities and the resiliency of the human body in BODY WORLDS: The Anatomy of Happiness for free!
• Journey through the touring exhibition Discover Steampunk to see how thinkers of the late 1800s envisioned the future.
• Navigate through our Speed and Boost exhibitions at your own pace.
• Step outside and explore the trains and Aluminaut, a submarine made out of aluminium.
• Meet snakes, spiders and more in the Animal Lab.
• See what’s buzzing in the Eco Lab. Can you spot the queen in our observational bee hive?
• Need a creative outlet? Make a take-home sensory bottle to remember your visit.
• Watch not one, but two, films in The Dome! An incredible journey awaits in the giant screen film Animal Kingdom: A Tale of Six Families at 5:30 p.m. and Living Worlds at 6:30 p.m.
