February 8 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Access Family Programs (Teens & Adults)
The Intrepid Museum offers programs for teens and adults with developmental disabilities and their families on select Sundays during regular Museum hours. Families can participate in hands-on activities, enjoy a light snack, and take an inclusive guided tour of the Museum. A separate program for children is offered in the morning. Families receive a social narrative and visual vocabulary and schedule in advance.
Astronauts Aboard
From incredible journeys to sea and space, the aircraft carrier Intrepid helped recover astronauts during the Space Race, while the space shuttle Enterprise tested the future of spaceflight. Learn more about the surprising connection between these two icons and what it really takes to blast off into space and return safely home.
Check-in begins at 1:30pm.
