Early Birds and Night Owls at London Science Museum
Early Birds is a sensory friendly event for families with members who need a quieter environment to enjoy the museum. This event is suitable for those who benefit from visiting the museum free from the hustle and bustle of the general public (for example, individuals with autism spectrum conditions or sensory processing differences).
Taking place on selected Saturdays across the year, the museum is open exclusively before or after hours, and wherever possible will have adjusted operations and/or lowered volume levels on exhibits.
The Early Birds/Night Owls accessible events are completely free and suitable for families (see age requirements below). Siblings are welcome to attend, but all children and adults attending the event will need to book.

What makes a cinema screening autism friendly?

Some autism friendly adjustments include:-
- There are no trailers
- The lights and volume are turned down
- You can sit where you want and move around
- You can take your own food and drink
- Staff are trained in autism understanding
- Carers can get free entry with a valid CEA Card
