Sensory Sundays

Sensory Sundays Continue in 2026!

At the B&O, select Sundays are dedicated to Sensory Awareness. These days feature environmental accommodations—such as no music, low lighting, quiet areas, and extra signage for sound effects—along with sensory-friendly activities like train rides and tours. Guests also have access to helpful resources, including sensory kits, social stories, and a community table.
