Join us for a sensory-friendly evening

Be the first to respond for our next Minds of All Kinds! Explore our touring exhibition Rescue, watch Wild Rescue in The Dome and enjoy special activities at your own pace. Minds of All Kinds features accommodations including reduced lighting and sounds, as well as limited crowd sizes.

Note: The 4–5 p.m. hour is designed for high sensory seekers.

Highlights from the evening:

  • Explore heroic response in our touring exhibition, Rescue.
  • Interact with a replica skeleton to make sure its bones are set where they belong.
  • Create obstacles and sink your putt in The Forge.
  • Lower the crane to win your prize in an interactive contest.
  • Help us grow a “tree” constructed from what you’re thankful for.
  • Enjoy two features in The Dome. For the giant screen film Wild Rescue, a visual describer provided by Virginia Voice will offer interpretive commentary. And our live astronomy show will take you to places far, far away.

Minds of All Kinds admission is free. Registration is required.

Thanks to our partners at Virginia Voice, SOAR365, Autism Society of Central Virginia, Down Syndrome Association of Greater Richmond and the Virginia Department for the Blind and Vision Impaired for collaborating on this event.
