Sensory Sunday

Sensory Sunday is a museum program designed to welcome visitors of all sensory needs and abilities. Families can explore the Grand Rapids Public Museum's exhibits in a calm, welcoming environment with modified sensory experiences—think reduced crowds, adjusted lighting, and quieter spaces. It's ideal for children who are sensitive to loud noises, bright lights, or busy environments, as well as those with autism, anxiety, or other sensory processing differences. Siblings and caregivers explore together at a comfortable pace.
