Imagine Children’s Museum is committed to providing an accessible and interactive experience for all. The Museum is equipped with elevators. Many of our exhibit areas are wheelchair accessible. Accessible parking spots are available in pre-pay lots as well as on the streets surrounding the Museum. See our Floor Map to learn more about the Museum’s layout.

Diverse learners may enjoy reading our social story about visiting the entire museum during regular hours. A limited number of sound-reducing earmuffs are available to borrow from the front desk. We also have sunglasses to borrow to reduce light stimulation. In addition, the Museum provides special access to the North side of the museum through our monthly Sensory Time program. Registration is required. Visitors who register for Sensory Time may also enjoy reading a social story specifically for this program.

The Museum’s Social Story is available in several different languages:
