SENSORY SUNDAY AT SCIENCE CITY:
Science City's Sensory Sunday takes place from 10am to 11:30am on each date listed. This special time at Science City is aimed at providing a welcoming space for guests on the Autism spectrum and those with sensory sensitivities. Sound effects are turned off, and there are minimal lighting effects. Special sensory-friendly activities are available, and there are designated quiet areas. At 11:30 am, our staff begins turning on Science City's regular noises, lights, and attractions, ready for opening to the general public at 12:00pm. Those attending in the morning will be welcome to stay throughout the day until close at 5:00pm.

SENSORY SUNDAY AT THE ARVIN GOTTLIEB PLANETARIUM:
Enhance your Sensory Sunday visit to Science City with a special showing of our popular planetarium show Hazelnuts: In Search of the Perfect Planet! Unlike normal planetarium showings, we're offering extra accommodations for visitors with special sensory needs, including playing the show at a much lower volume than usual, turning on some soft lights to keep the seating area from getting too dark, and offering re-entry if guests need to take a break from the show for a few moments.
The 25-minute show will be presented in-full, featuring the grand adventure of two squirrels named Nino and Lilli, as they search for hazelnuts among the stars and learn about life in our Solar System!
