Everyone is always welcome at the South Australian Museum, but we know that sometimes it's a lot to take in – particularly for neurodiverse visitors and those with sensory sensitivities.

To make sure everyone can enjoy our Museum, we hold regular sensory friendly mornings and evenings so that visitors of all ages, along with their families, friends, and support workers, can enjoy a quieter, less crowded visit to the Museum outside regular hours.

With pay-what-you-can admission, we'll be toning down our screens, lights and sounds around the Museum, and our sensory backpacks will also be available to borrow free of charge. Remember to book a ticket for all attendees when you register, as numbers are limited to ensure a quiet environment.

Entry to the current special exhibition may be included with admission.
The Museum Shop and Museum Cafe are not open during this event.

For more information about access and inclusion at the South Australian Museum please visit our website.

These are pay-what-you-can events:
Please contribute what you can afford to give for each ticket and enjoy this event. Our access programming is funded solely through donations and we're grateful for every contribution no matter how big or small. Your contribution will help us to continue to present these programs into the future.
