BOISE, Idaho — The Discovery Center of Idaho has dedicated times for visitors to enjoy a less overstimulating environment.

It is called sensory-friendly learning, where kids and adults can experience all the center has to offer with less of the busy everyday atmosphere.

Visitors are also given loaner sensory kits with fidget spinners, noise-reducing headphones
