This event provides a comfortable and accepting environment for youth and adults with sensory differences. The WET Science Center will lower the lights, turn down the volume on games, and offer an optional visual scavenger hunt for the exhibit gallery. With input from local families, a variety of tactile sensory play activities will be available for guests of all ages.

Visitors can also enjoy arts and crafts, hand fidgets, sensory bottles, a book nook, and quiet spaces for breaks. A limited number of noise cancelling headphones and other sensory supports will be available.
