The National Corvette Museum has been certified as a Sensory Inclusive venue.

The certification came through KultureCity, a leading non-profit recognized nationwide for using its resources to revolutionize and create change in the community for those with sensory needs. The new initiative promotes an accommodating and positive experience for all guests with a sensory issue that visit the Museum or NCM Motorsports Park.

More than 80 percent of the Museum's staff participated in the online training led by a KultureCity certified trainer on how to recognize guests with sensory needs and how to handle a sensory overload situation. Sensory bags, equipped with noise canceling headphones, fidget tools, verbal cue cards and weighted lap pads are available to guests who may feel overwhelmed by the environment and can be obtained at the admissions counter.

Prior to visiting, families can download the free KultureCity App to view what sensory features are available and where they can access them. In addition to  dozens of other sensory inclusive locations from around the country, the NCM will soon be added to the KultureCity App.

Since the program's inception, KultureCity has created over 350 sensory-inclusive venues in four countries.
