Patrons are welcome to use mobility devices such as wheelchairs, motorized scooters, and <a href="https://adata.org/faq/what-another-power-driven-mobility-device-opdmd">other power-driven mobility devices</a> when visiting.</p> <p>Individuals with mobility disabilities or devices can find information about accessible parking and transit options by exploring the “Getting Here” information of the <a href="/visit/museums">museum(s)</a> they wish to visit.</p> <h3><strong>Entrance Lines</strong></h3> <p>Entrance lines to Smithsonian museums and the National Zoo can be quite long, especially during busier times of the year. Visitors who are unable to wait/stand in line for extended periods of time should contact the visitor services office of the <a href="/visit/museums">museum(s)</a> they plan to visit to discuss options.</p> <h3><strong>Wheelchair Rental</strong></h3> <p>Every Smithsonian museum has a limited number of manual wheelchairs that visitors may borrow during their museum visit free-of-charge. These wheelchairs are available on a first-come, first-served basis and cannot be reserved. Smithsonian museums do not offer motorized wheelchairs or scooters. However, the National Zoo offers electronic convenience vehicle rental to visitors for a fee on a first-come, first-served basis. <strong>Please note that a Smithsonian wheelchair may only be used in the building from which it was borrowed. These wheelchairs cannot be used to travel between Smithsonian locations.</strong></p> <p>We encourage patrons to bring their own mobility devices (including manual and motorized wheelchairs and scooters) to our museums, and many of our out-of-town visitors have chosen to do so by renting mobility equipment from private companies in the Washington, D.C., metro area. Visitors who bring a mobility aid or device with them should plan to maintain possession of the item throughout their visit.</p> <h3><strong>Personal Mobility Devices</strong></h3> <p>Visitors with disabilities are welcome to bring manual or motorized wheelchairs, scooters, and other power-driven mobility devices when visiting the Smithsonian. Please note that gasoline-powered devices are strictly prohibited inside Smithsonian buildings. <br /> </p> </div></div> </div> </div> </div><div class="panel" id="accordion-si-field-collection-tabs-384858490-1"><h3 class="panel-heading" role="tab" id="header-si-field-collection-tabs-384858490-1"><a href="#si-field-collection-tabs-384858490-1" class="collapsed" role="button" data-toggle="collapse" data-parent="#accordion-si-field-collection-tabs-384858490-1" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="si-field-collection-tabs-384858490-1"><span class="icon" arai-hidden="true"></span><span class="text">For Individuals Who Are Blind or Have Low Vision</span></a></h3> <div id="si-field-collection-tabs-384858490-1" class="tab-pane panel-collapse collapse "><div class="entity entity-field-collection-item field-collection-item-field-tab-accordion clearfix" about="/field-collection/field-tab-accordion/2899" class="entity entity-field-collection-item field-collection-item-field-tab-accordion"> <div class="entity entity-paragraphs-item paragraphs-item-text-block bg-none field-bg" id="paragraphs-item-18325" class="entity entity-paragraphs-item paragraphs-item-text-block bg-none field-bg"> <div class="content cf"> <h3>Visual Description or Sighted Guide Tours</h3> <p>Visual description and/or sighted guide tours are available at all Smithsonian museums.
