This part of the event will include free Museum admission where sounds, lighting and activities within their current exhibits will be adapted to create a low-sensory experience for children with  autism. Visitors will enjoy a sensory friendly museum environment and other sensory friendly activities from other West Michigan organizations and institutions.

Explore Under the Arctic included with your admission! Add on Sean Kenney’s Wild Connections Made with LEGO Bricks to your visit for $4 per person. See Subatomic: Detecting the Unseen in the Chaffee Planetarium at 6 p.m. for $4 per person.
