SUMMARY:Sensory Hours | Salt Painting\, Mineral Cart
DESCRIPTION:Sensory Hours | July 2026\nSalt Painting Activity | Hall of Earth Sciences\, Mineral Cart\nJoin our educators in the Hall of Earth Sciences as they facilitate our mineral cart with hands-on sensory exploration inspired by geology and natural materials. Guests can explore texture and color through calming salt painting activities while learning more about minerals\, rocks and the natural world around us. \nSensory Hours offer a calmer way to experience the San Bernardino County Museum. During this time\, lighting is softened and the museum environment is quieter to create a more comfortable\, low-sensory setting for visitors who prefer a gentler museum experience. \nSensory Hours are especially welcoming for individuals with sensory sensitivities\, including those on the autism spectrum or with sensory processing differences\, but they are open to anyone who enjoys exploring the museum in a more relaxed atmosphere. \nEach month\, the museum’s education team hosts hands-on sensory activities in a different exhibit hall. These guided experiences may include tactile exploration\, art activities\, or opportunities to interact with natural materials connected to the museum’s collections. Activities vary each month and are designed to encourage curiosity\, discovery and playful learning in a supportive environment. \nAdmission:• $10 adults• $8 military or seniors• $7 students• $5 children ages 6–12• Free for children five and under• Museum members are free \nParking is free\, and the museum is accessible to persons with disabilities.
