The Staerkel Planetarium offers sensory-friendly shows,
which feature "lights up, sound down" and have a relaxed atmosphere
where patrons can come, go, and move around as needed.

Our sensory-friendly shows are great for guests with autism spectrum disorder, sensory sensitivities, or young children. All are welcome, even if you don't need sensory accommodations!

Follow Niyah, an imaginative Chicago preteen, on a visually stunning Afrofuturist journey
through the multiverse! If there are countless other universes out there,
where does Niyah fit in? What about you? Find out what shape your shadow matter
might take and get inspired to dream up multiverse theories of your own.
Produced by the Adler Planetarium, and licensed thanks to support
from the Friends of the Staerkel Planetarium.
