The Pacific Science Center is proud to present ‘Exploration for All: Autism Early Open‘ this Saturday, from 8-10 am, for all families affected by autism. Family and friends are invited to explore the Pacific Science Center during a special free morning visit, before the center is open to the public. It is a chance to view the exhibits without heavy crowds and with softened noise and visual stimulation levels wherever possible.
This Saturday will be the first of many early open events at the Pacific Science Center for the autism community this year. With a generous grant from Safeco Insurance, the Pacific Science Center will be able to host an early open each month throughout the year. The grant allows the Pacific Science Center to expand their accessibility and inclusion programs by providing special training for staff and additional captioning devices in one of their IMAX Theaters.
Before you go, take a look at their autism resources for tips and tools for a successful visit to the Pacific Science Center.

Thank you so much!!!Kai and I haven’t gone together in years..and we used to have a membership before he got bigger than me!
I was hesitant about going as it has gotten difficult to take my family with three small children, one with autism, one with other developmental delays, and a typical toddler. We had a last minute cancellation so decided to give it a try yesterday and had a great time. It wasn’t crowded. My kids behaved so much better than when we have been there during regular hours. And finally, I felt like my family didn’t stand out as anything unusual. Thank you to the PSC and Safeco for making this opportunity possible. Please let me know of other such events.
