Sensory Friendly Sundays offer neurodivergent individuals, their families and caregivers the ability to visit the museum on the second Sunday of every month. Visitors will enjoy a calm, relaxed and safe atmosphere.

Adapted Exhibits

On Sensory Friendly Sundays, adaptations will be made to the exhibits, such as lowered lighting and sound adjustments for a more relaxed visit. A quiet space will also be available for visitors who need a break.

Discovery Packs

As part of your visit you will have the use of a Discovery Pack. These packs contain some things that may help your visit:

• Noise cancelling headphones (adjustable for ages 3-18)
• Map of the museum space
• Sensory fidget toys
• Some fun activities to use during your visit

Canucks Autism Network Training

In January 2022, Canucks Autism Network ran two trainings for MONOVA staff which included strategies for supporting individuals and families on the spectrum.

Canucks Autism Network believes that every community should take action to include and support individuals on the spectrum, and we are thrilled to be working in collaboration with them.

We are ready to welcome you!

Everyone is welcome and no advanced booking is required. Plan your visit.
