Sensory Map

We would like to help you prepare ahead of time for some of the sights and sounds you will experience at The Children's Museum.

Download a sensory map or pick one up once you arrive at the Entry Gates or Concierge Desk. Maps provide information about the layout of the museum and indicate areas that are sensory-heavy, as well as those that may be less stimulating. Symbols indicate if a particular area:

Contains Low Light

Is Bright

Is Quiet

Is Loud

Contains a Tactile Opportunity

Contains a Movement Opportunity

Contains a Strong Smell

Flashing Lights / Simulated Lightning

Social Narrative

Download our social narrative to see photos and learn more about some of the areas that your child may find appealing, and some of the areas that may be sensory-heavy or over-stimulating. You may want to read this guide with your child one or more times prior to your visit.
