Accommodations

CMEC offers a number of accommodations for your visit! Staff members are available to help you access any of these accommodations or answer any questions.

Sensory Room

The sensory room is designed for sensory regulation. It is equipped with multiple sensory materials, including sensory seating, adjustable lighting, noise-canceling headphones, fidgets, a light wall and a starry sky tunnel!

Elevator

We have two floors of exhibits. When you first enter the museum, you can find the elevator to the right of the welcome desk. It will bring you near the 2nd floor restrooms and sensory room. Exhibits are easy to access.

The Makery

The Makery is supplied with adaptive tools to support access for all visitors. We have adaptive scirros, triangle crayons, paper grip and more! Ask a staff member if you need help locating these materials.

Universal Design

Our exhibits are designed considering all people of diverse abilities by complying with universal design standards.

The universal design standards extend thinking to limiting barriers that may be encountered within a space.
It is our intention to address usability so our exhibits can be used by all people to the maximum extent by creating interactive and accessible exhibits and environments.

School's Out: Food for Thought

Program
Grades 2-7: (Two sessions-9:00-noon and 1:00-4:00) This 3-hour School's Out program is focused on food and where it comes from! Students will learn about why pumpkins are "seasonal" in October, parts of a pumpkin, using pumpkin as an ingredient, and more. They will be able to gain understanding through hands-on baking, exploration, and no fears of making "too big of a mess". We will be able to celebrate National Baking Week and National Chef's Day through our activities. Come join us for this pumpkin-themed workshop!
