Exploring Our Way: Sensory Friendly Playtime
For some children with autism spectrum or sensory processing disorders, a visit to museums like the Children’s Museum of NH is challenging or over-stimulating. Exploring Our Way are FREE low-sensory events designed for children with autism spectrum or sensory processing disorders, and allow them to explore the Museum along with their families without the noise, crowds, and stimulation of a typical open day. We limit the number of families who can attend, turn down sounds and lights, provide a quiet zone with sensory activities away from the exhibit floor, and have noise-canceling headphones to borrow. A medical diagnosis is not required. This program is free, but online pre-registration is required. Access & Inclusion programs are sponsored by M&T Bank. LEARN MORE AND REGISTER

NH Maker Fest
The annual NH Maker Fest is an all-ages celebration of creativity and innovation, organized and hosted by CMNH. The Fest is a gathering of fascinating, curious people who enjoy learning and who love sharing what they can do. From artists to entertainers, to entrepreneurs to homesteaders, the Maker Fest is a venue for these “Makers” to show hobbies, experiments, projects, and for all of us to discover something new. The Fest takes place in and around the Children’s Museum of New Hampshire in downtown Dover, NH on the first Saturday of June from 10am-3pm. Play with bubbles, experiment with science, learn new skills, take a selfie with a robot, and so much more! Entrance into the Fest is by donation (suggested $5/person). Online tickets are available for purchase, or donate at the door. Learn More
