Caregivers accompanying visitors with disabilities receive complimentary Museum admission. To make your timed-ticket reservation, go to the ticketing reservation page and select the complimentary ticket reservation path below the three main ticket types.
- All of the Museum’s exhibitions are accessible by wheelchair, and all public floors of the Museum can be reached by elevator. Public elevators near the Central Park West and 77th Street entrances and those in the Rose Center are equipped with Braille signage and give auditory signals.
- All theaters are temporarily unavailable.
- Service animals are welcome to visit the Museum.
Strollers are welcome throughout the Museum.- The recommended Museum entrance for strollers is 81st Street/Rose Center for Earth and Space.
- Double strollers are not typically permitted in the special exhibition galleries due to space constraints. Where strollers are not permitted, stroller parking is provided.
- Visitors can use the Museum’s free Explorer app to find routes that include elevators. Choose the accessible route and receive turn-by-turn directions.
- Onsite tours are paused but online programs are available. Please check the calendar for upcoming programs.
All school trips are temporarily unavailable, but please see our virtual field trip offerings.
