Sensory-Friendly Sundays at Museum of Discovery and Science

Experience Sensory-Friendly Sundays in Fort Lauderdale

Are you looking for a unique and inclusive outing for your family this month? Mark your calendars for Sensory-Friendly Sundays at the Museum of Discovery and Science on July 27, 2025. This special event, designed for individuals on the autism spectrum, allows children and their families to engage in exploratory activities in a comforting environment.

What to Expect at the Museum

From 10:00 am to 1:00 pm, the museum welcomes visitors two hours early for a day filled with interactive fun. Families can participate in various sensory-based activities, helping children improve their social interactions while regulating sensory input. The highlight of the day will be an IMAX film screening at 12:30 pm, where the theater provides a sensory-sensitive atmosphere: lights will be up and sound will be lowered, ensuring a comfortable experience for all attendees.

A Welcoming Environment for Everyone

This event encourages families to feel at home, with the freedom to move around, dance, or express themselves without the worry of disturbing others. Patrons can bring their favorite snacks, blankets, and other items that make their experience enjoyable and personalized. Sensory-Friendly Sundays aim to dismantle barriers, allowing everyone to appreciate the wonders of science in an inclusive setting.

Community Support and Engagement

Sponsored by Fifth Third Bank and ABA Centers of Florida, this event showcases the power of community engagement. By fostering a welcoming environment for families with individuals who have sensory needs, the Museum of Discovery and Science emphasizes the importance of inclusivity. The initiative not only creates a space for families to explore science together but also encourages broader participation from the South Florida community.
