Sensory Friendly Night

Join us on the last Sunday of each month for Sensory Friendly Night!

This event is designed for families with members who experience sensory sensitivities, are on the autism spectrum, or who have any health needs that would make a quieter visit more enjoyable. Admission is free during Sensory Friendly Night, thanks to our friends at GreenState Credit Union.

Adjusted sound levels and limited attendance create a calmer environment for families to explore at their own pace. As always, we have KultureCity Sensory Inclusive™ signage to help you navigate exhibits and sensory bags available for checkout at the front desk. Our Family Sanctuary is also available for guest use at any time.
