Access Family Programs (Children ages 5-17)

The Intrepid Museum offers programs for individuals with developmental disabilities and their families on select Sundays during regular Museum hours. Families take a guided, interactive tour of the Museum and can participate in activities that everyone can enjoy.

Steering and Piloting

Look out! Learn about how Intrepid steered its way through the ocean and its airplanes piloted through the sky. Explore historic spaces and participate in activities that connect to how we find our way today.

Check-in begins at 10:30am. Please arrive before 11:00am in order to participate in the full program.

Looking for a program for older visitors? This program will be offered again from 2:00 to 4:00pm for teens and adults with developmental disabilities and their families. Register for the teen and adult program here.
