Dinosaur Discovery Museum
Programs & Events
Family Programs
Family programming at the Kenosha Public Museum is designed to encourage a multi-generational audience to experience the museum together. Families with young children are welcome to attend these programs and require a parent or guardian to be present. These programs vary in cost, many are free but may require pre-registration.
Sensory Friendly Days
Select Saturday mornings, 11:00am – 12:00pm
Sensory Friendly Days give visitors of all ages with complex developmental disabilities, sensory sensitivities, or on the autism spectrum a safe, comfortable environment to explore the museum exhibits during special hours before the museum opens to the general public. Where possible, our lights will be dimmed and the sound turned off. Signage will be posted for those areas in which we are unable to turn off the sound or there may be other sensory triggers. Trained staff will be available to help visitors navigate the museum and offer supportive resources (noise-canceling headphones, fidgets, weighted blankets, quiet spaces), as well as opportunities for sensory engagement during your exploration of the museum.
