Accessibility
We believe that everyone should be able to join us in exploring space!
Accessible Entrance
The Adler Planetarium provides curb-cut ramps for ease of access to sidewalks, and a street level entrance just south of the Main Entrance. Directly inside is the South Box Office where tickets for all Adler attractions can be purchased.
Handicapped Parking
There are several reserved handicapped parking spaces in the main parking lot, close to the South Box Office, and several reserved metered parking spaces immediately behind the bus stop. Please be advised that the availability of these spaces is determined by the City of Chicago, which owns and operates them.
ADA Compliance
As an added service, the Adler can provide a wheelchair for those in need of use during their visit, at no extra cost (supplies limited, identification required).
The Adler Planetarium also provides some resources about astronomy in Braille. Please ask a Museum Services staff member at either box office if you would like to use these materials.
A family restroom is located near the Group Services Entrance (mid-level South).
Café Galileo's provides tables designed to accommodate visitors who use wheelchairs.
