Accessible tours

The Discovery Center offers a range of accessible tours and programming to make our space more welcoming and inclusive to our visitors.

These tours are led by education staff trained in accessibility strategies, including storytelling, visual descriptions of objects, providing tactile opportunities, and conversation-based approaches. Accessible features can be added to any tour at a visitor’s request.
