Sensory Friendly Sundays 

About

Museums can be overwhelming and overstimulating for anyone. The Bakken Museum has partnered with the Autism Society of Minnesota to adjust the museum experience and develop programming with a focus on sensory processing differences. Join us on the second Sunday of each month for new activities and adapted exhibit experiences.

Activities and accommodations will include:

- Lowered volume on interactive exhibits

- Dimmed lights throughout the museum

- Additional sensory-aware signage throughout the museum

- Noise-dampening headphones

All activities are free with museum admission ($10 adults, $8 seniors 62+, $8 ages 12-24, $5 ages 4-12, free for children 3 and under and members of The Bakken Museum). Free parking is available both in the museum's lot on Zenith Avenue South, and on West 36th Street. The Bakken Museum is wheelchair accessible.
