Play Attention
We collaborate with community organizations including Thresholds Veterans Project, Great Lakes Naval Base Child Development Centers, USO, The Road Home, Illinois Joining Forces and Easter Seals Veterans Community OneSource to invite military veterans, active-duty personnel, first responders and their families to explore the Museum while closed to the general public. This provides a safe environment for military families to enjoy quality bonding time among interactive and educational exhibits.
It was a great family bonding moment for us. A lasting memory, for sure.
