Neurodivergent Family Nights are held on the second Tuesday and fourth Thursday of each month from 5-7 pm (after we close to general admission). Join us for a free evening where children and caretakers are invited to play in a sensory friendly neuro-affirming environment! We encourage the whole family to attend and therapists can join as well. This is a chance for families with children and their parents, siblings, or caretakers to enjoy The City together in an environment that is designed to be sensory-friendly. Socialize with other parents and meet our community partners, who specialize in supporting the neurodiverse community.
