Hours in detailMon–Wed 9 a.m.–4 p.m.; Thu 9 a.m.–8 p.m.; Fri 9 a.m.–4 p.m.; Sat–Sun 9 a.m.–5 p.m.; members-only mornings Mon & Thu 8–9 a.m.; closed Thanksgiving (official visit page)

ParkingPAGE-VERIFIED (Visit page, read in full): 'Free parking is available for DCM members & visitors' (on the busiest days the free lot may be full; the page links parking alternatives). The museum is just across the street from the Naperville train station (Metra BNSF line, Naperville stop) — this refines the earlier 'short walk' wording to the venue's own 'across the street'.

AccessibilityPAGE-VERIFIED (museum's own Visit page, read in full in this pass — full verbatim Accessibility & Inclusion section): 'Our strength lies in diversity among the broad range of people that we serve. We are committed to providing a safe, accepting environment with unique learning opportunities for all children and families who visit the Museum. We make a special effort to accommodate our visitors with accessibility needs.' (The earlier snippet-carried quotation omitted the middle sentence; the full page text above supersedes it. A dedicated accessibility page linked from the Visit page as 'Learn more' could not be opened in this pass — browser-service 429 on the single attempt — so deeper accessibility detail remains still-pending.) MUSEUMS FOR ALL: the Visit page as read in full publishes standard admission only ($22 children / $22 adults / $21 seniors, under-1 free, members free, $1 saving when buying online) and contains NO Museums for All rate, EBT or LINK terms anywhere on the page — the community claim of $5 for up to 4 people therefore remains NOT venue-confirmed and no MfA perk is recorded.

Why these agesExhibits are designed for young children (the museum describes visits for children from about 8 months to age 10); kids under 1 year are free.
