Exploring Our Way: Sensory Friendly Playtime

For some children, a museum visit is challenging and over-stimulating. The Exploring Our Way: Sensory Friendly Playtimes at the Children’s Museum of New Hampshire in Dover are exclusive to families of children with special needs. These reduced admission, low-sensory events are designed for children with autism spectrum or sensory processing disorders to explore the Museum along with their families without the noise, crowds, and stimulation of a typical day. The museum is closed to the public during Exploring our Way playtimes. We limit attendance, turn down sounds and lights, provide a quiet zone with sensory activities, and have noise canceling headphones to borrow. A medical diagnosis is not required. Online reservations are required and cost $3.50 per person, regardless of age. https://childrens-museum.org/programs/exploring-our-way/
