Sensory-friendly Moments

The Planétarium is now offering a gentler, more inclusive experience on the last Tuesday of the month (all day) and the last Sunday of the month (last show at 12:45 p.m. in English and 1:15 p.m. in French)*. During these times, a number of adjustments help reduce sensory stress, providing a more soothing environment for autistic people and their families.

An experience that accounts
for sensory sensitivities

During Sensory-friendly Moments, the environment at the Planétarium will offer:

  • Reduced noise and light levels in theaters and during the Rouge 2100 exhibition;
  • Reduced numbers of spectators inside theaters;
  • Access in theaters to sensory kits specially designed for people with autism (these kits, which contain five soothing objects, are available on request at all times in the five Espace pour la vie museums).

Visitors will also be able to:

  • Enter and exit theaters at their discretion during screenings;
  • Adjust the visit to their own pace with a ticket valid for the entire duration of the ‘sensory-friendly’ time slot;
  • Express their needs freely (noises, movements, verbal exchanges);
  • Use their digital tools designed to enhance accessibility;
  • Have access to a quiet room should they require peace and quiet (available at all times at the Planétarium).

*Some exceptions may apply. Please check schedule.

Can neurotypical people also come to the show?

  • Yes, the program remains the same.
  • While the environment will be expressly adapted to the needs of autistic people and their families, everyone is welcome to a Sensory-friendly Moment.
  • The soothing ambiance may also appeal to people with certain sound and visual sensitivities.
