Sensory Friendly Event at ALPLM
In recognition of National Autism Acceptance Month, the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum will offer a Sensory Friendly Event on Friday, April 4.
During this special event from 4:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m., we invite our guests to enjoy FREE ADMISSION during a sensory-friendly experience. Our 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 during this Abe for All series event.
Advance registration is not required. We 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 our website or email to ALPLM.GuestEntry@illinois.gov and request a packet.
We are committed to providing an inclusive experience for all and if there are other things we can do to ensure a more welcoming experience, please let us know. You can reach us 9am – 5pm daily by calling 217-558-8844 (TTY/TDD 1-888-440-9009) or email ALPLM.GuestEntry@Illinois.gov
