Children’s Museum of Wilmington to host Sensory Sunday event April 12
WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — The Children’s Museum of Wilmington is set to host a sensory-friendly event for families later this month.
Sensory Sunday will take place April 12 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the museum. The event is designed to provide a modified experience for children with sensory, developmental and physical needs.
According to organizers, the museum will adjust its normal operations to create a more comfortable environment. That includes limiting attendance, reducing lighting and sound levels and offering designated calming spaces.
“Events like this help families feel welcomed, understood, and empowered, and we’re grateful to be part of a community that values sensory‑friendly spaces,” said Isaac Mass, Director of Operations for Magical Moments ABA in North Carolina.
Visitors will also have access to sensory tools available for checkout at the front desk, including headphones, power packs and sound maps.
The event is part of a bi-monthly series hosted by the museum throughout the year. The next Sensory Sunday is scheduled for June 7.
Tickets are $5 per person, and capacity will be monitored to maintain a comfortable setting, according to the release.
