Wistariahurst Museum, Sensory Friendly Sunday Funday

Join us for a fun, sensory-friendly Sunday Funday on December 15th, 2024!

Wistariahurst Museum is hosting a Sensory Friendly Sunday Funday on December 15th, 2024! Guests and their loved ones can stop by Wistariahurst Museum from 12pm to 3pm for an afternoon of fun activities. The museum will be wonderfully decorated for the holiday season, with lights and sounds dimmed during the event. Enjoy the ambiance of our first floor and discover fun history by taking a self-guided tour with pamphlets available in English and Spanish. Guests can also enjoy a series of fun puzzle games and word searches centered around our museum, as well as large motor games that will be set up in the Music Room. We will also have a variety of board games for guests to engage with and enjoy.

That’s not all! Staff are on the lookout for Winston the Wisty Lion and need your help! Winston is sleeping somewhere in our museum, but we can’t find him! During your self-guided tour, keep your eyes open for our lethargic, little lion. When you find him, don’t shout and wake him up! Take a picture or selfie with him and show your picture to our front desk attendant to get an exclusive Winston sticker! Want to have more fun with our lazy lion? Search for Winston’s clues to answer historical questions and learn more about the museum while you explore each of the rooms. Best of all, there is no time limit to this scavenger hunt, so all can enjoy this activity at their own pace. At the end of your hunt, stop by the front desk to show your answers and win a fun prize!Our Sensory Friendly Sunday Funday is a great opportunity for families with sensory difficulties to explore the museum and enjoy the holiday season. We can’t wait to enjoy the most wonderful time of the year with our community friends!
