🌟 Sensory-Friendly Hours 🌟

Join us on Sunday, June 7 from 3:00–5:00 PM for a quieter, more comfortable museum experience designed for children and families who benefit from a reduced-sensory environment.

During Sensory-Friendly Hours, we’ll lower lights and sounds, reduce attendance, and create a welcoming space for exploration, play, and learning at your own pace. 💙

🎟️ RSVP required! https://www.playdateculpeper.org/event-details/june-sensory-friendly-hours-2

Thank you to everyone who came to our Dino STEM event! The kids loved making fossils, learning about dinosaur digestion with gizzard stones, creating Dino tracks, and touching real dinosaur bones! 🦖🦕🦴

While all of our racers were faster than this T-Rex, no one could beat the time of a real one!!

Our events wouldn’t be possible without all of our volunteers running the stations, thank you!!

Special thank you to Farm Credit for sponsoring the event and to the Museum of Culpeper History for partnering with us!
