Peoria has several venues with real sensory programs. Offerings still change, so the most useful habit is to check a venue's accessibility page or call ahead. Here are some strong starting points.

Children's museumLends sensory items at admissions — noise-canceling headphones, sensory toys and sunglasses — offers a downloadable social story, and keeps the Art Room available as a quiet, darker space. Also runs Sensory Inclusion Night, an occasional evening with dimmer lights and less noise, in partnership with the Heart of Illinois Special Recreation Association.
