AccessibilityLaguna Gloria's ADA-accessible pathways, as marked on the museum's map of the grounds, include an ADA-accessible ramp connecting the site's levels. Service animals are welcome; additionally, leashed pets may accompany guests on the Laguna Gloria grounds (keep pets away from sculptures). For comparison, the museum's Jones Center galleries are described as stroller friendly and wheelchair accessible, with oversize strollers possibly stored at the Reception Desk - that stroller statement is for the Jones Center, not Laguna Gloria.
Sensory notesThrough KultureCity, sensory bags containing noise-canceling headphones, fidget tools, weighted lap pads and visual tools are available at the Laguna Gloria Visitor Center (and the Jones Center Reception Desk), along with dedicated quiet spaces for respite. EnChroma glasses for colorblind visitors are available, and exhibition/visitor materials are translated into Braille through a partnership with Clovernook. The Bloomberg Connects digital guide offers voice over, captions, audio transcripts, image zoom and font-size adjustment.
Official tipsThe Visitor Engagement team leads Spanish-language tours, stroller-friendly tours and ASL tours - see the museum's events page for upcoming access tours. Museums for All: free admission for anyone receiving SNAP benefits; Thursdays are free at both locations.
