Visitors with disabilities may use mobility devices, including manual and electric wheelchairs, mobility scooters, and manually powered mobility aids (such as walkers, canes, and crutches), in all areas open to public pedestrians. All devices must be used in accordance with museum guidelines provided. Electric devices should be operated on the lowest speed setting at a pace similar to walking.
If you are a person with a disability using other power-driven wheeled mobility devices (OPDMDs), it is highly recommended that you make advance reservations to ensure that your visit is as seamless and enjoyable as possible. Please contact our Visitor Experience team at info@buffaloakg.org at least two weeks in advance of your visit. Staff can recommend visitation on days with fewer visitors. We also recommend having a blue ADA placard affixed to the front of the transportation device. OPDMDs such as bicycles, skateboards, scooters, in-line/roller skates, heelys, segways, or hoverboards are not permitted in the museum.
