For children (ages 3-18) with autism or sensory sensitivities and their families
How does that fly?! Learn the science behind getting airplanes and helicopters up in the air through the Intrepid Museum’s collection of historic aircraft. Then, try hands-on art and science projects that test the forces of flight!
About Early Morning Openings: The Intrepid Museum offers Early Morning Openings for children with autism and their families before the Museum opens to the public! Families receive a sensory bag with interactive activities designed for the whole family, and explore the Museum without the crowds! Participants receive a social narrative ahead of time.
