The SoundShirt™ creates a visceral experience of music. It is a shirt which allows d/Deaf audience members to experience music through real-time touch (haptic) sensations.
Navy Pier is wheelchair accessible. Most attractions, but not all, are also accessible. For detailed information please visit the Navy Pier website access page.
Service dogs are welcome at Navy Pier.
Information, resources, and a friendly smile can be found mid-Pier at the DisFest Welcome Station sponsored by ReinventAbility - enlightening perceptions of disability and inspiring joy for all of us who seek a more universally accessible and inclusive future.
