SENSORY FRIENDLY AFTERNOONS

All Tuesdays from 4:00-5:00pm are sensory-friendly for individuals and families with neurodiverse or accessibility needs. Guests can explore our exhibits and galleries in a comfortable, welcoming and less crowded environment. Wherever possible, exhibits will have adjusted operations and lowered volume levels.

SENSORY BACKPACKS & NOISE CANCELLING EARMUFFS

We support children and families that live with sensory processing disabilities. Our sensory backpacks and noise cancelling earmuffs are available for loan on a first-come, first-serve basis at the front desk. Each sensory backpack contains items for self-regulation, tactile input, and various attention focusing tools. All items within the sensory backpack must be returned at the end of your visit.

*Additional charges may be applied for sensory backpacks retuned with damaged or missing items.

mobility

The Okanagan Science Centre is located in a two story heritage building. Unfortunately, we do not have elevator access to our second floor and planetarium and apologize for the inconvenience. We are working towards a solution to remove mobility barriers, however it is quite complex given the heritage designation and age of the building.
