Sensory Friendly Weekends at National Museum of the Great Lakes

Sensory Friendly Weekends offer a welcoming museum experience designed for visitors who benefit from a calm, low-stress environment. During these sessions, the National Museum of the Great Lakes adjusts lighting, reduces noise levels, and creates quieter spaces so families can explore exhibits about regional maritime history at their own pace. Staff are trained to support guests with sensory sensitivities, autism, anxiety, or other needs. It's a chance to learn about Great Lakes ships and heritage without the usual weekend crowds and stimulation.
