Sensory Friendly Hours at The Tech Interactive

Sensory Friendly Hours are a time for families to enjoy a quieter, less-crowded visit to The Tech Interactive at a discounted rate. This opportunity may be appealing to guests who have mobility challenges, struggle to communicate or become easily overwhelmed by stimuli. During these hours, The Tech Interactive will offer:

A smaller crowd capacity.
Lower audio volume on exhibits.
Well-lit areas in all galleries.
Quiet rooms with calm-down kits.
IMAX film played at lower volume. 11 a.m. showtime; first come, first served.
Welcoming and well-trained staff members.

Guests are welcome to stay past noon; however, the galleries will open at 10 a.m. to the general public, so some accommodations will not be available

Tickets for Sensory Friendly Hours may be purchased in advance or at the door. Membership benefits apply; please call Group Reservations for tickets at 1-408-294-8324, option 3.
