Join us for a special sensory-friendly hour of Pumpkinferno adventures, thoughtfully tailored for you! Dynamic Earth will provide a calmer Halloween experience designed with accessibility in mind.
At our Halloween Sensory Sunday events, we will:
- Scale back lighting effects to reduce visual intensity
- Turn off extra music to keep the sound environment gentler
- Limit crowd size so you can enjoy the experience at your own pace
- Provide a Sensory Break Space for anyone who needs a quiet moment
This is your chance to explore all the magic of Halloween at Dynamic Earth in a more relaxed, comfortable environment.
BACK TO THE FUTURE: 40ᵀᴴ ANNIVERSARY

FOUR SHOWS ONLY! From the Academy Award-winning filmmakers Steven Spielberg and Robert Zemeckis comes Back to the Future — the original, groundbreaking adventure that sparked one of the most successful trilogies ever! When teenager Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) is blasted to 1955 in the DeLorean time machine created by the eccentric Doc Brown (Christopher Lloyd), he finds himself mixed up in a time-shattering chain reaction that could vaporize his future — and leave him trapped in the past. Powered by innovative special effects, unforgettable songs and non-stop action, Back to the Future is an unrivaled adventure that stands the test of time.
