The visit is self-guided, but families can talk with the research team working on the fossils in the SECU DinoLab. Bring noise-reducing headphones and fidgets if your child uses them; a limited number of Sensory Friendly Bags and headphones can be borrowed. All ages are welcome, particularly neurodivergent visitors, and children must be with an adult. Registration is free and optional — registering gets you reminder emails and resources to preview the exhibit before you go. ## Similar picks in Raleigh - [Hot Dogs with Heroes: Sensory-Friendly Fire Station Visit](https://grassyknees.com/raleigh/activities/hot-dogs-with-heroes-sensory-friendly-fire-station-visit--listing-4e5602883239fbdc55a81332) — Sat, Nov 14 · 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM · Raleigh Fire Station 12 · Free · checked Oct 24.
