The museum is fully ADA compliant and wheelchair accessible. All public spaces are on the ground floor, which is flat, save for a couple of very gentle ramps around the largest exhibit, SpaceLab. There is one wheelchair, which can also be checked out by guests for free on a first come, first served basis. Working service animals are welcome. The Museum Docents are happy to do custom tours and can give audio descriptive tours where they explain and describe the artifacts and exhibits.Amenities
