Access for Visitors with Mobility Issues

ARTIC has accessible spaces in its parking garages for automobiles with disability symbols, a valet parking service, accessible entrances with ramps, and a drop-off point close to its main entrance. I’d advise contacting the museum at least a week before you plan to visit for information. Call 312 443 3680 or email [email protected]. Inside, the museum has elevator access to all floors and free borrowable wheelchairs at its checkrooms. What’s more, for visitors who can’t get to the museum, it also provides slides from the collection and discussions about its artworks via telephone to visitors from the US. Call 877 797 7299 (you will have to register as a user), email [email protected], or visit https://covia.org/services/well-connected/.

The Field can be reached via the local paratransit service, called the Chicago ADA Service, with information about booking on its website (https://www.cookdupagetransportation.com/). It also has accessible spaces in its parking lot and garage for automobiles with disability symbols, although these spaces charge for parking. Inside, the museum has elevators to all public floors, its bathrooms are mostly accessible, and it has borrowable wheelchairs at its east and south entrances and coat check.

MCA’s parking garage has accessible parking spaces for automobiles with disability symbols—although the museum states you’ll need to validate this parking at its admissions desk or coat check. Inside, it has elevator access to all floors, although one elevator has restricted access. I’d advise checking with staff during your visit about this access. The museum’s store, theater, restaurant, and bar have largely accessible entrances, its terrace has automatic doors and a ramp, and its bathrooms are largely accessible. The museum also has free borrowable wheelchairs at its coat check and accessible seating and spaces in its theater. I’d advise contacting the museum for information about your specific access needs before you visit; call 312 397 4010.

Science and Industry has accessible parking spaces in its underground parking (for large automobiles) and its parking garage (for more regular automobiles) for automobiles with disability symbols—the garage also has an elevator. The museum’s main entrance has a push-button door, and its bathrooms are largely accessible. The museum has elevators and ramps to all floors in the museum, and its theater has accessible and companion seats and access via elevator. I’d advise contacting the museum before you plan to visit for information. Call 773 684 1414 or TTY: 773 753 1351.

If you have mobility issues, The Chicago advises arriving at least one hour before your show starts, through the main entrance to give you time to get around the building and to your seats. It has elevators as well as accessible and companion seating in its auditorium at different prices. I’d advise you contact the theater at least a month before you visit for information and to ask about booking. Their box office number is 888 609 7599 or TTY: 711 (this number takes you to the relay center; from there ask for the theater).

Cadillac Palace has accessible seats with different prices, and it is also possible to book adjoining or nearby companion seats.
