Sensory Friendly Afternoon

The Indiana State Museum is hosting a Sensory Friendly Afternoon designed to make the museum experience welcoming and comfortable for visitors who are sensitive to typical museum environments. During this special afternoon session, families can explore the museum's exhibits and attractions in a calm, supportive setting. This program is open to all ages, making it a great opportunity for families with children who benefit from reduced sensory stimulation, quieter spaces, or a less crowded atmosphere. This is a perfect option if your family finds traditional museum visits overwhelming due to noise, lighting, or crowds. The relaxed pacing and modified environment allow everyone to enjoy the museum at their own comfort level. You'll need to purchase admission to attend, and we recommend checking the museum's website or contacting them directly for any additional details about how the sensory-friendly accommodations will be set up during this session.
