Adaptive Play Time - DuPage Children's Museum

Adaptive Play Time

Adaptive Play Time provides a modified environment for play and learning for children with disabilities, on the autism spectrum, and/or sensory processing disorders and their families. 

 

Finding places for the whole family to play without stress can be difficult, but these times allow guests to experience the Museum in a less stimulating environment with limited attendance.

 

Masks are required for everyone age 2 years and older. During Adaptive Play Times, an exception can be made for a child with a medical or sensory issue that prevents them from wearing a mask.
