  • General Admission

Looking for a quiet, calm, and sensory-friendly museum experience? Join us for Sensory Friendly Hour at Lee Hall Depot, a dedicated time designed for individuals and families who prefer a more relaxed, low-stimulation environment.

During this special hour, the museum space is thoughtfully adjusted to support comfort and accessibility. Lights will be dimmed or turned off, noise levels will be kept to a minimum, and sensory-friendly items will be available to borrow. Guests can also enjoy a quiet coloring and reading station, creating a welcoming space to explore at their own pace.

This is not a structured program, but rather a dedicated hour where visitors can experience the museum in a calmer, more comfortable setting.

We welcome anyone who would benefit from a sensory-friendly environment and invite you to enjoy Lee Hall Depot in a way that feels comfortable for you.
