Sensory Friendly Evening: Space Exploration

The Intrepid Museum offers Sensory Friendly Evenings for teens (14+) and adults with autism. Explore the Intrepid Museum after hours during a fun sensory-friendly evening with friends and family. All registrants receive a social narrative before the program.

The aircraft carrier Intrepid and space shuttle Enterprise each carried astronauts, but for very different reasons! Visit the Space Shuttle Pavilion to learn about the Museum’s connection to space exploration and step inside the Museum’s pop-up planetarium to learn more.
