SENSORY SUNDAY

A welcoming, inclusive experience—for everyone.

Sensory Sundays are thoughtfully designed for neurodivergent guests and individuals with sensory sensitivities who may find traditional museum settings overwhelming. Held quarterly, these special afternoons offer a calmer way to explore CuriOdyssey, with guided science activities, animal encounters, and sensory-friendly spaces throughout the museum and zoo.
