Sensory Sunday: Highland Hustle

Sunday, January 19, 2025, Noon – 4 p.m.

Huzzah! Get ready to immerse yourself in the sounds, sights, and sensations of Scottish Highland Games right here at the History Center. This family-friendly day has activities kids and parents will enjoy! Test your strength as you try tossing foam cabers, see the bright, bold colors of traditional kilts, and hear the lively melodies of bagpipe music.

During Sensory Sunday we aim to provide a welcoming and comfortable experience for guests with autism spectrum disorder and sensory processing sensitivity. To do this we have adopted some basic accommodations, including access to a social narrative to help plan your visit, lowered or muted audio in exhibits, and limited use of flashing or moving lights. We also provide access to noise-reducing earmuffs, fidget/sensory toys, and a quiet space to utilize during your visit. Additionally, the History Center has created sensory-friendly activities throughout the museum to engage a wide variety of guests with hands-on history learning.
