Low Sensory Sessions

What: SPECIAL EVENT
When: First Saturday of the month
(Excluding school holidays)
3 to 4:30pm
Tickets: Price range $0 to $15

On the first Saturday of every month, Scienceworks offers low sensory sessions for visitors who experience sensory sensitivity.

Visitors will have the opportunity to experience quieter galleries with fewer people and reduced sensory stimuli.

Low sensory inclusions:

Sound and light level reduction in all galleries included with museum entry
A quieter time of operation
Sensory maps available on arrival to plan your low sensory visit
Social stories offered through our Autism-friendly museum program

Please note: We have not made adjustments to surcharged experiences such as temporary exhibitions and Planetarium and Lightning Theatre shows. While 3 to 4:30pm on Saturday is traditionally a quiet period, Scienceworks is popular and there may still be crowds in our gallery spaces.
