Sensory SundayMy Visit to the Witte Museum

on Sensory Sunday

Today we are going to the Witte Museum. We are going to have fun!

We will drive to the museum and park in a lot or in the garage.

We will walk from our car to the front door.

On the walk to the museum, there is a big dinosaur statue.

Outside of the museum there is a fountain.

When we walk through the door, we will see Quetzy above us. I can wave to Quetzy.

I will wait while my grownup buys a ticket.

We will see the Witte team in blue shirts. If I have a question, I can ask them for help.

I will see lots of exciting things!

I can learn about Texas Deep Time.

I will walk in the museum.

I will stay with my grownups at all times.

I will use an indoor voice while I am at the Witte Museum.

There are some things that are okay to touch. My grownups will tell me what I can touch.

The Witte Museum is an exciting place!

I will hear sounds. If I think it is too loud, my grownups can ask the staff for earplugs.

I will see lights. If I think it is too bright, my grownups can ask the staff for sunglasses. I will see other families having fun at the museum. Some areas might be crowded. I can use my words or show a picture to say I need a break.

If I need a break, I can go to the Chill Zone quiet room. There will be some books I can look at.
