Chicago Children’s Museum is committed to providing exhibits, programs, and public spaces that are inclusive and interactive for all families.
During our Play for All events, we invite children and families with disabilities to come and experience CCM’s playful, multisensory exhibits for a special private hour inside the museum.
The first 250 visitors to register receive FREE admission. Pre-registration is required.
CCM opens to the public at 10 am. Play For All families are welcome to stay and continue exploring the museum all day.
Play for All Events are held every second Saturday of the month.
