Indoor Sensory Spaces BY CHRISTIA WOODFORD
The Abrams Planetarium
755 Science Road, Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI, 517-355-4676 Offers sensory-friendly shows on the third Sunday of every month at 11:30 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. These shows will run with the lights up, the sound down, and the theater doors open so people can move about as needed. We also provide a place to “chill out” in our lobby. All shows include a live star talk about what is up in the sky that night. We will include a short break between the main show and the star talk. Information about what to expect during the show will be provided when you check-in. Sensory-friendly shows are free thanks to sponsorship from MiABLE. Check the website for shows https:// www.abramsplanetarium.org/ Programs/Sensory.html
