The South Carolina State Museum is pleased to host “Accessibility Mornings,” beginning Saturday, September 10 from 9 – 11 a.m. This special program provides free access for families of children, teenagers and young adults who would benefit from a sensory-friendly experience and a quieter setting at the museum.
Accessibility Mornings allows guests who are neurodiverse, autistic or have other disabilities to experience the State Museum at their own pace. In addition to exploring 4 floors of exhibitions and displays, participants can enjoy free special activities- including character meet-and-greets and sensory-friendly planetarium and 4D shows. A designated sensory room with low lighting and hands-on manipulatives will be also available to guests who may need a place to relax.
