Our philosophy starts with the simple belief that kids are capable of incredible things. Our job is to nurture that ability; our goal is to support kids' healthy development. Play is how kids learn--here, it is in both a STEM-rich environment and inviting outdoor experience.
Come join in all the fun and explore the accessible Discovery Museum and Discovery Woods during this special free evening event especially for families with families with Deaf, Hard of Hearing, or KODA children. Your family can play, explore, experiment, and imagine together while we are closed to the general public. ASL Interpreters will be on-site to support your visit. Dinner, including a gluten-free option, is provided courtesy of Not Your Average Joe's, Acton. Thank you!
Space is limited, and pre-registration is required. A registration link will go live here about 6 weeks prior to the event.
Resources available to prepare for your visit include Story Guides (social stories) to the Museum and Discovery Woods, as well a Sensory Guide. These are available both online and at our Admissions Desk. You might also visit the Exhibits section of our website, and review our Tips for Visiting. Please note that Discovery Woods is open year-round, but closes at dusk and will not be open for evening events during the winter months.
This Especially for Me program is offered in conjunction with the Deaf and Hard of Hearing Program of Boston Children’s Hospital.
