Accessibility Guide

We are happy to help. Please let one of our volunteers know if you require any assistance and we will take any effort we are able to accomodate.

FRONT ROW SEATING - Select seating in the front row will be held for those requesting accommodation. Additional front row seating can be made available upon request.

TRAMS - A wheelchair-accessible tram will be available for the tram tour.

MOBILITY - All our presentations will take place on the lawn, under the tent with two exceptions:

• Dr. AlRoy's breakout session will take place at the South Pavilion.

• The Cocktail Mixer will take place on thePatio behind the Museum Building. The first Tram will take guests directly from the Tent and will drop off closer to the elevators for easier access.

Visitors with a disability are welcome to bring their own adaptive bikes, mobility scooters, or other mobility aids. Not all roads and pathways will be appropriate for all devices. Storm King staff can help describe terrain and suggest accessible routes.

Please let us know if we can be of assistance with traversing the grass with our wheelchair accessible cart.

Please declare your service animal at the booth upon arrival. Handlers are solely responsible for the care and control of their service animal. A leash or harness is required at all times; alternative options may be used when necessary, as outlined in the ADA.

NATURAL HAZARDS - Much of Storm King is open to the elements, is wooded, has running or sitting water, and is home to wild animals, reptiles, and insects. While Storm King’s staff engages in maintenance and landscape management, visitors must be aware of the natural surroundings, including fallen and falling limbs, insects, reptiles, wild animals, mud, water hazards, steep slopes, and loose and uneven surfaces. If you require first aid for bee stings, falls, etc., please contact a member of our Visitor Services Staff. Please respect the wildlife and ecology. Enjoy our long and native grass fields, but do not enter these areas. Climbing trees, littering or disturbing the natural environment is not permitted.
