Have you ever checked out the WOW Museum! It is a relaxed place where kids can play and touch everything. Once a month they hold a sensory friendly day that is relaxed and calm. Great for kids who need a little less input. The staff are very understanding of kids that communicate differently. If you get a chance sign up an upcoming day.
Here is there website for more information: https://wowchildrensmuseum.org/visit/reopening/
Sensory Friendly Playtime
For some children with autism spectrum or sensory processing disorders, a visit to a museum like WOW! is difficult or overstimulating. In 2015, we launched Sensory Friendly Playtime, a low sensory event where children with autism spectrum or sensory processing disorders can explore the Museum without the noise, crowds, and stimulation of a typical day. We limit the number of families who can attend, turn down sounds and lights, and provide adaptive equipment such as noise reducing headphones and weighted vests. When available, occupational therapists or physical therapists are on hand to help facilitate activities, provide resources, and answer questions.
