Come for a special morning at the Museum with Early Intervention groups and other D/HH families while we are closed to the general public and headcount is limited. Playing, exploring, experimenting, and imagining in the museum promotes family conversations and can support early language development for Deaf and Hard of Hearing infants and toddlers.

Space is limited, and registration is required.

You can prepare for your visit by reviewing our Discovery Museum Story Guide, which includes a sensory guide. It is available on our website or you can request it at our Admissions Desk. You might also visit the Exhibits section of our website and review our Tips for Visiting. You can borrow noise-reducing headphones and a portable step stool for easier access to exhibits at the Admissions desk.
