Exploring Sensory-Friendly Places in Bartow County

Finding spaces that understand and accommodate environmental sensitivities makes all the difference. To help you skip the stress and enjoy the day, we’ve put together a guide to the best sensory-friendly places in Museum City.

Booth Western Museum

As an official partner of KultureCity, a nonprofit organization dedicated to creating sensory-inclusive and accessible spaces for individuals with invisible disabilities, autism, PTSD, and dementia, Booth Western Art Museum is committed to providing a welcoming environment for all guests. During designated sensory-friendly mornings, visitors can enjoy a low-stimulation museum experience designed to encourage comfort and inclusivity.

Tellus Science Museum

The Tellus Science Museum offers sensory-friendly mornings designed to provide a calmer, more accessible visit for all guests. During these times, the museum reduces noise levels where possible, designates quiet spaces for breaks, and provides specialized equipment and sensory tools to help create a more comfortable, low-stimulation experience.

AMC Theater

AMC Classic offers Sensory Friendly Film showings designed to create a more comfortable movie experience for people with autism and others with sensory sensitivities. The lights are kept slightly brighter than usual, the sound is lowered, and there are no previews before the film begins. The atmosphere is more relaxed than at a traditional theater, allowing guests to move around, take breaks, or enjoy the movie in their own way.

Red Top Mountain State Park

Red Top Mountain State Park offers a calm, open setting that works well for families looking for a low-stress outdoor option. The wide trails and lakeside areas give space to move around comfortably, while the quieter atmosphere helps reduce the noise and crowding that can feel overwhelming. Parents can choose shorter walks or simple spots to sit and take breaks as needed, without feeling rushed or confined. It’s an easygoing place where families can spend time together outdoors in a more flexible, peaceful environment.

Bartow County is home to a variety of sensory-friendly places that help make outings more comfortable for everyone. Whether you're exploring a museum, catching a movie, or enjoying the outdoors, these spaces make it easier to spend quality time together.
