As part of our Abe for All series, the ALPLM offers Sensory Friendly Sundays on the last Sunday of January, July, and October. During these events, they invite their guests to enjoy a sensory-friendly experience from 1 pm – 5 pm. Their theater and Journey lights will be turned up, and the sound turned down. Some special effects will be turned off. A quiet room will be provided. Regular admission prices apply.

Advance registration is not required. They have developed a pre-visit preparation packet that ranks areas of the museum based on their potential to overstimulate. This can be found in the “Plan Your Visit” section of their website or email ALPLM.GuestEntry@illinois.gov and request a packet.
