What's
New!
At LCM, we are committed to building stronger, connected communities through active engagement. We welcome all families and children, of all backgrounds and circumstances, and offer low-sensory playtime experiences where children with sensory-specific needs can explore the Museum without the noise, crowds, and stimulation of typical open hours. Attendance is more limited, sounds and lights are turned down, and adaptive equipment, such as noise-reducing headphones and weighted vests, are provided. When available, specialists will be on hand to help facilitate activities and provide resources.

Learn MoreSensory Friendly Mornings are available on the last Saturday of each month. The Museum will modify exhibits by lowering sound volume in louder areas. A limited number of sensory bags from KultureCity will be available for guests on-site. These bags include noise-cancelling headphones, sunglasses, fidgets, Feeling Zone thermometer non-verbal cards, and a KultureCity lanyard. One weighted lap pad will also be available for use.
