Great ideas!

Creating a sensory-friendly environment can make a world of difference for those who experience sensory sensitivities.
This image highlights simple yet impactful tips:
🔹 Use soft, adjustable lighting instead of harsh overhead lights
🔹 Minimize background noise or offer noise-canceling options
🔹 Incorporate calming colors and uncluttered spaces
🔹 Provide comfortable seating or quiet retreat areas
🔹 Be mindful of strong scents or overwhelming textures
Small changes can create a space that feels safe, calm, and inclusive for everyone.

Did you know Abrams Planetarium offers sensory friendly shows on the third Sunday of every month at 11:30 a.m. and 1:00 p.m.? These shows will run with the lights up, the sound down, and the theater doors open so people can move about as needed. They provide a place to "chill out" in the lobby. All shows include a live star talk about what is up in the sky that night. This includes a short break between the main show and star talk. Information about what to expect during the show will be provided when you check in. Sensory friendly shows are free for all audiences, but are
not available in advance. Ticket availability begins 30 minutes prior to showtime and are available at the front door.

Tomorrow's Shows (May 17) are Supermassive Black Holes at 11:30 a.m. and We Are Stars at 1:00 p.m.!
