About this Event
Early Morning Opening

The Intrepid Museum offers Early Morning Openings for children with autism or sensory sensitivities and their families before the Museum opens to the public! Families receive a sensory bag with interactive activities designed for the whole family and explore the Museum without the crowds! Participants receive a social narrative ahead of time.

Speed and Style: Supersonic Flight

Explore the supersonic jets at the Intrepid Museum. Learn what it was like to design, fly and land supersonic planes, including the British Airways Concorde.

Accessibility Note:

Program activities will take place in accessible areas on the pier under the Concorde and in the hangar deck and flight deck of the ship. Entering the Concorde is optional and requires walking up and down a flight of stairs. Additional information will be sent beforehand with the social narrative.

Families must check in between 8:30am and 9:30am. After the Museum opens to the public at 10:00am, the interactive Exploreum will have special activities and stay closed to the public until 11:00am.
