Johnson County Museum Offers 'Sensory Friendly' Outing

Johnson County Museum
The KidScape at the Johnson County Museum is a fully-immersive, interactive history experience for kids.

The Johnson County Museum is turning itself into a low-sensory environment on the first Monday of every month.

The new limited capacity sessions are designed to better accommodate children with sensory processing differences and Autism Spectrum Disorders.

The Johnson County Museum is sensory friendly on the first Monday of the month (unless closed for a holiday), from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. More information is online.

When I host Up To Date each morning at 9, my aim is to engage the community in conversations about the Kansas City area’s challenges, hopes and opportunities. I try to ask the questions that listeners want answered about the day’s most pressing issues and provide a place for residents to engage directly with newsmakers. Reach me at steve@kcur.org or on Twitter @stevekraske.
As Up To Date’s senior producer, I want to pique the curiosity of Kansas Citians and help them understand the world around them. Each day, I construct conversations with our city’s most innovative visionaries and creatives, while striving to hold elected officials accountable and amplifying the voices of everyday Kansas Citians. Email me at zach@kcur.org.
As senior podcast producer for KCUR Studios and a host of A People’s History of Kansas City, I interview everyday people and dig through old newspaper articles to unearth stories of the visionaries and renegades who created this region. I focus on bringing the past to life, so we can all better understand the city we live in today. Email me at mackenzie@kcur.org.
No matter what happens in Washington D.C., Kansas City needs KCUR. And KCUR needs you.
