Sensory Friendly Weekends at National Museum of the Great Lakes

Sensory Friendly Weekends offers a welcoming museum experience designed for visitors who benefit from a calm, low-stress environment—including children and adults with autism, sensory sensitivities, anxiety, or other needs. Expect reduced crowds, dimmed lighting, quieter spaces, and staff trained to support sensory-conscious guests. Families can explore exhibits about the Great Lakes at their own pace without the typical museum bustle, making it easier for everyone to engage, learn, and enjoy.
