Sensory Friendly Mondays at Port Huron's Discovery City Children's Museum Resources

Welcoming Environment

Sometimes, the sights, sounds, smells, and textures of a children’s museum can be overwhelming to a child, and for a child with sensory issues, it can be a nightmare.

Discovery City Children’s Museum in Port Huron, Michigan, has a solution: Sensory Friendly Mondays.

The Museum offers tools and supports to create a welcoming and comfortable environment for families and children of all abilities, including those with a child with autism.

Limited Admission

On Sensory Friendly Mondays, admission is limited. Fewer kids means less noise and stimulation. Lights are dimmed, and quiet play equipment is available for children.

Sensory bags are available with items like noise-canceling headphones, weighted vests, sunglasses, sensory touch tikes, fidget toys, and cards that children can use to express emotions and feelings.

Registration Required

Since admission is limited, registration is required for Sensory Friendly Mondays. The cost is $5, and an adult must accompany and attend with children., Parents, grandparents, or caregivers can register in the child’s name at www.discoverycityph.com/event-list<http://www.discoverycityph.com/event-list>.

Sensory Friendly Mondays start April 7th and are held every first Monday of the month with the exception of Labor Day, Monday, September 1st.
