Early Morning Opening
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.
Astronauts Aboard
The aircraft carrier Intrepid and the space shuttle Enterprise each carried astronauts, but for very different reasons! Visit the Space Shuttle Pavilion, and learn about what it takes to travel to and from space.
Families must check-in between 8:30 am and 9:30 am. After the Museum opens to the public at 10:00 am, the interactive Exploreum will have special activities and stay close to the public until 11:00 am.
Health and Safety:
More details about health guidelines and policies will be sent to all registrants ahead of the program, along with the social narrative. In the meantime, learn more here
