Sensory-Friendly and Access Programs

Sensory-Friendly and Access Mornings

Self-directed, drop-in sessions are offered October through April and are opportunities for families and adults who experience a range of developmental and physical disabilities and those on the autism spectrum to visit the museum when it is closed to the general public. A safe space is available, and an adult must accompany visitors under age 18.

Sensory-Friendly and Access Mornings are $5 per family or group. Advance registration is appreciated, but same day registration is available if paying by credit card.

Though these opportunities are created by museum staff for certain times, visitors experiencing sensory sensitivities and disabilities may visit the museum anytime during open hours for independent exploration.

Requests for Special Programs

If you are interested in working with Education staff to develop a program for your specific group, please email access@anchoragemuseum.org. A minimum group size of 5 individuals is requested to design a special program.
