Sensory-Friendly Sundays
Jun 11 @ 10:00 am – 12:00 pm
Sensory-Friendly Sundays @ Kansas Children's Discovery Center

Sensory-Friendly Sundays are on the second Sunday of every month from 10 a.m. to noon. On Sensory-Friendly Sunday, the Kansas Children’s Discovery Center offers free admission to families who have children with autism or have children who benefit from a sensory-friendly environment. Children play in a safe and understanding environment where the lights and sounds are kept low, and fun activities are designed just for them.

The Sensory-Friendly Sunday program provides opportunities to enjoy family time at the Kansas Children’s Discovery Center in a safe and understanding environment. These events allow caregivers to network with one another, and connect to resources. The museum is not open to the public during this time. Reservations are not required.
