Sensory Saturdays program offered first Saturday of each month with dimmed lights, lowered sound, and reduced capacity for sensory-sensitive guests
Best time
Book tickets online in advance, especially for weekends and Saturdays. The museum operates on timed reservations that keep capacity manageable, but this means walk-ins are frequently turned away at full capacity.
Visitor tip
The smaller, intentionally designed space is ideal for toddlers and young children under 6. Unlike larger Manhattan museums, it feels less overwhelming and overcrowded, making it more suitable for children ages 1-5.
