Come join in all the fun and explore the accessible Discovery Museum and Discovery Woods during this special evening event just for families with members on the autism spectrum. Your family can play, explore, experiment, and imagine together, while we are closed to the general public. Dinner, including gluten free options, is provided.

FREE event, but pre-registration required at http://bit.ly/ASDEveningFeb2019 as space is limited.
