During Sensory Saturdays, exhibit lights and sound effects are adjusted, and additional hands-on activities are included to foster a safe, welcoming, and most importantly — FUN — environment for all visitors. Quiet spaces are available during Sensory Saturday events for visitors needing a break. Additionally, sensory borrow backpacks will be available at our Market Street Box Office on a first-come, first-served basis.
Sensory Saturdays are held on the second Saturday of each month from September through May.
The UPMC Science Center opens one hour before its regular opening time for a quieter, less crowded environment.
Sensory Saturday Hours:
9:00 AM – 11:00 AM
Standard Saturday Hours:

We look forward to sharing more sensory-friendly experiences!
