About this Event

As a business owner who is autistic and epileptic, I understand the importance of creating a welcoming environment for our friends who may have sensory sensitivities. On Friday afternoons between 11:00 am and 3:00pm, we will have a calm and peaceful atmosphere with no music or bright flashing lights, and only a limited number of guests or groups will be allowed in at a time. We have different activities available and plan for them based on each familys interests. If you want to plan an activity for your family visit, please contact us at [email protected].

Our exhibit has many touch-friendly items, and we want everyone to feel safe and comfortable here. We welcome stimming and encourage you to be yourself. If you need any extra accommodations, please don't hesitate to call us at 312-961-7219. Our main floor is accessible for people with disabilities, and we offer a promo code, SENSORYKIDS, for 50% off children's tickets.

Please note that for summer 2024, there will be street construction in progress in front of our museum. This may introduce additional sensory disturbances, potentially affecting the peaceful environment we aim to maintain for our sensory-friendly Fridays. We apologize for the inconvenience.
