Sensory Resources

Amazement Square is proud to be a Certified Autism Center and is committed to supporting

children with sensory sensitivities and their families.

Virtual Tour and Museum Guides

Families are encouraged to explore our virtual tour and museum guides before their visit to help children become familiar with exhibit spaces and transitions.

Quiet, low-stimulation areas are available within the museum for children who may need a break from sensory input. Staff are happy to help direct families to these spaces.

Quiet Spaces

Quieter hours are offered on Wednesday, 3:00-5:00 PM, and may vary throughout the year. During these periods, lighting, sound, and crowd levels are intentionally reduced to create a calmer environment.

Please check our calendar or contact us prior to your visit for current quieter hour availability.

Quiet Hours

Sensory kits are available at the Front Desk for use during your visit. Kits include noise-reducing headphones and tactile tools to support sensory regulation.

Simply ask a staff member—no advance request is required.

Everyone Is Special (EIS) Resources

Amazement Square offers additional inclusion-focused resources through our Everyone Is Special (EIS) initiative. These resources are designed to support children of all abilities and learning styles, helping every family feel prepared, welcomed, and supported during their visit.

Through EIS, we provide tools, programs, and thoughtful accommodations that recognize that every child experiences learning and play differently—and that those differences should be celebrated.

What You’ll Find Through EIS

  1. Sensory-support resources for children who may experience sensory sensitivities

  2. Accessibility tools and guidance to help families plan with confidence

  3. Inclusive programs and experiences designed to meet children where they are

  4. Ongoing initiatives that expand access to learning for our community

Our team is always happy to help families navigate these resources and identify what might be most helpful for their visit.
