Bell Museum

Sensory-Friendly Saturdays
This monthly series, held on select Saturdays from 8 – 10 am, provides a welcoming and accessible environment for individuals, families, and children who have sensory sensitivities. Experience our Minnesota Journeys gallery, temporary exhibits, Touch & See Lab, and a planetarium show—with lowered lighting, quieter sounds, and fewer visitors. Visitors are welcome to check out additional resources like the quiet spaces, visual timers, weighted lap pads, and hearing protection if it helps makes the visit more enjoyable, and a social story is available for download to prepare for your visit.
