Sensory Hour

10-11 a.m. on the first Sunday of the month Beginning Jan. 4 Da Vinci Science Center at PPL Pavilion’s Sensory Hour offers a supportive and welcoming science center experience for guests who benefit from a calmer, sensory-friendly environment. During this dedicated hour, the science center adjusts lighting, sound, and exhibit effects to reduce sensory stimulation while still encouraging exploration and discovery. What to expect during Sensory Hour: Reduced sound and visual effects throughout the science center A quieter environment at the start of our regular operating hours Sensory support items are always available at the Visitors Services desk, including weighted blankets and noise reducing headsets. We also invite guests to use the Safe Haven room, located near the first floor restrooms, if needed.
