• Saturday, July 27: 9 am - 12 pm

  • On Saturday, July 27, Wonder Works Children’s Museum will offer free admission to all from 9 am to 12 pm. This morning of FREE PLAY is possible thanks to sponsorship by LifeSpeed Behavioral Support Services.

    Although museum entry will be free for all the morning of July 27, we request that you pre-register for an entry time in order to manage museum capacity. There are entry windows at 9 am, 10 am, and 11 am. Please plan to arrive at the museum within 30 minutes of your pre-registration entry time. Museum entrances after 12 pm will be subject to regular museum admission prices. Anyone who has pre-registered for one of the free morning of play sessions is welcome to stay at the museum as long as they like. 

    During the morning, participants in the free morning of play will be able to enjoy all of Wonder Works Children’s Museum’s 9 permanent indoor and outdoor exhibits. We will also have multiple story times and will be making adorable watercolor monsters in the art room. We look forward to PLAYING with many new and existing friends during our free morning of play on Saturday, July 27.

    LifeSpeed was founded in 2013 with the primary goal of providing effective behavior-based solutions services to adolescents living with developmental and/or cognitive disorders throughout the greater Chicagoland area. Seeing such a dire lack of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) support available for adults placed in residential settings, we then expanded our model of care to include this ever-growing population. In March of 2020, LifeSpeed came full circle across the lifespan and opened an Early Learning Center in downtown Oak Park specifically designed to support children living with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). After recognizing firsthand that so many children with ASD truly thrive when movement is incorporated into therapy, the Early Learning Center expanded in late 2023 to a brand new facility in nearby Forest Park with sensory swings, a trampoline, a jungle gym for climbing, and 2,400sqft of play space!
