Take your senses on a wild ride as you explore all the creepy crawly, ooey gooey, squishy mushy activities offered at this sensory-friendly Halloween celebration! Bring your costumes and candy bags as you enjoy trick-or-treating throughout the museum. During Sensory Sundays at the History Center, we aim to provide a welcoming and comfortable experience for guests with autism spectrum disorder and sensory processing sensitivity. To do this we have adopted some basic accommodations, including access to a social narrative to help plan your visit, lowered or muted audio in exhibits, and limited use of flashing or moving lights. We also provide access to noise-reducing earmuffs, fidget/sensory toys, and a quiet space to utilize during your visit. Additionally, we have created a variety of sensory-friendly activities available throughout the museum to engage a wide variety of guests with hands-on history learning.
The History Center is home to the Historical Society of Central Florida’s collection of more than 35,000 artifacts, photographs, and archival materials documenting the rich heritage of our region.
