Sensory Friendly Morning is designed for families with neurodivergent children or teenagers to explore the museum at a quieter, less-crowded time. The recommended age for this experience is 10 and up, but all are welcome. The experience is self-guided, and guests can choose to participate in additional activities; some exhibit elements will be adapted to accommodate sensitivities to light and sound.
All guests are invited to participate in the Halloween theme with optional, not-scary costumes and trick-or-treating around the galleries for fun fidgets, bookmarks, and mini-books.
Prior to the event, registered guests will receive pre-visit materials (including a social narrative and sensory map). Registered guests are welcome to drop in at any time during the event.<a href="https://eventvesta.com/events/160902/t/tickets" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">View Tickets &amp; More Info</a>

SEIZED Film Screening &amp; Discussion
SEIZED is a gripping, stranger-than-fiction investigative film that plunges audiences inside the troubling police raid on the Marion County Record. What begins as a shocking small-town incident quickly spirals into a national story, exposing how corruption, politics, and decades-long tensions turned a quaint Kansas community into a battleground over the First and Fourth Amendments.
Blending the juicy intrigue of a classic muckraking narrative with a clear-eyed exploration of power, politics, and the fragility of a free press, SEIZED transforms a headline-grabbing event into a deeply human story that is urgent, unsettling, and impossible to ignore.
The screening will be followed by a discussion and Q&amp;A featuring the film director, Sharon Liese, and others.
Location: Friedman Family Auditorium (Planet Word Museum)
