Accessibility

• Only service animals are allowed around the Museum’s campus and exhibits. Pets are not permitted on the Museum grounds. 
• Small bags and backpacks are allowed in the Museum, though staff reserve the right to conduct a search of bags brought on to the property if necessary. 
• Some of the Historic Structures on the property do not meet modern accessibility requirements. The Goxhill Watch Office is not equipped with an elevator, however, at the request of a visitor a member of the Museum team can provide an equivalent experience through a photographic tour of the inaccessible space. 
• Because our collection still flies, our display Hangars double up as working spaces. Moving around in the hangars can pose a challenge due to the close proximity of aircraft to one another. If you are struggling to find a path between the aircraft, please let a staff member or volunteer know so they can assist you!

• With advanced notice, Museum guides experienced at working with translators can be provided. To make arrangements please contact volcoord@aviationmuseum.us.

• Motorized wheelchairs are not available for rent on the property, however manual wheelchairs are available on a first-come, first served basis. 
• Handicapped parking spots are available adjacent to the Museum entrance, and are connected by an at-grade sidewalk. 
• All public restrooms have wheelchair-accessible stalls. 
• The second floor of the main museum building is accessible via elevator, though the second floor of the historic Goxhill Watch Office is not. 
• Bench seating is available throughout the Museum, please do not hesitate to notify the staff if you are in search of a comfortable place to rest!

Complimentary descriptive tours featuring tactile experiences are available for visually impaired or blind visitors with two-weeks of advanced notice. The provision of this guide is subject to docent or staff availability.

• With at least two-weeks of advanced notice the Museum can endeavor to schedule an ASL interpreter to accompany you on your Museum visit.
• If you are being accompanied by an interpreter, there will be no admission charge for that interpreter when they identify themselves to the admissions staff. 
• Guides are happy to wear microphone devices connected to hearing aids (provided by the visitor), and similar devices while providing tours.

• Due to the nature of our live programs, we advise discretion due to sustained loud noises, backfires, weapons demonstrations and other abrupt, irregular sounds.
• If you are visiting while a demonstration is ongoing, please do not hesitate to request a quiet area where the demonstrations can still be observed. 

• Changing stations are available in the ground floor restrooms (mens and womens) in the main Museum building. 
• Mothers are permitted to breastfeed at their discretion anywhere on the Museum campus.
• A private space is available by request, and can be accessed with an employee escort. Should you need to utilize the space please let a member of the staff know during your visit.

• Available to visitors of all ages with special needs, and to their families, Sensory Friendly Mornings are scheduled periodically throughout the year to provide a great experience for those who would prefer to visit when there are no aircraft operating, and exhibit sounds and lights are reduced.
