Yes, we do provide wheelchairs for visitors. Upon arrival at the Museum, please notify the front desk or a security officer that you are in need of a wheelchair for your visit. Wheelchairs also can be accommodated in the Planetarium.

The Planetarium and the Amphitheater are equipped with Radio Frequency Assisted Listening Systems (ALSs). Please ask a member of the planetarium or visitor services staff for more information.

Are service dogs and emotional support dogs welcome at the Museum?

Service dogs are welcome at the Museum. The ADA defines service animals as dogs of any breed or size that are trained to perform a task directly related to a disability. Advance notification is not required.

Pets and emotional support or comfort animals are not allowed at the Museum. Emotional support or comfort dogs are not considered service dogs because providing emotional support or comfort is not a task related to a person’s disability, and therefore are not permitted.

A service animal must be under the control of its handler. Under the ADA, service animals must be harnessed, leashed, or tethered, unless the individual’s disability prevents using these devices or these devices interfere with the service animal’s safe, effective performance of tasks. In that case, the individual must maintain control of the animal through voice, signal, or other effective controls.

Further information on ADA Requirements can be found here.

Are baby strollers permitted in the Museum?

Yes, baby strollers are generally permitted. There are occasions where we may restrict the use of strollers in site-specific exhibitions and in our historic home, Glenview, for the safety of the artwork. Strollers are permitted in the Planetarium.

Do the Museum's bathrooms have baby changing stations?

Yes, bathrooms are equipped with baby changing stations.
