Mga Espesyal na Pangangailangan

We aim to make NHM an exciting, educational, and enjoyable experience for everyone. If you have any questions about your visit and the services we offer, contact our Call Center at 213.763.3466 or info@nhm.org.

Wheelchair Access: All exhibits are accessible for wheelchairs and strollers, with the exception of strollers inside the Butterfly and Spider Pavilion. Wheelchairs are available on a first-come, first-serve basis and can be checked out by leaving a driver's license or other form of valid identification. Inquire with our Guest Relations staff once you arrive.

Accessible Parking: Accessible parking is available in NHM car park.

Accessible Restrooms and Family Lounge: Wheelchair accessible and all-gender restrooms are available throughout the museum once the inside of the museum is open. Our Family Care Lounge is available for guests on Level 2 in the Bird Hall.

Service Animals: Service animals, as defined under the Americans with Disabilities Act, on a leash and under the owner’s control, are welcome at the Museum. If the dog is barking excessively or not housebroken, the handler may be asked to remove the dog from the museum.

Sensory Sensitivity: For those who may experience sensory sensitivity, we provide free kits, including noise cancelling headphones, a fossil stress ball, a sensory guide, and fidget cube. Kits are available to borrow on a first-come, first-served basis and can be checked out by leaving a driver's license or other form of valid identification. Inquire with our Guest Relations staff once you arrive.

Ssnsory-Friendly Dinosaur Encounters Show: Our Sensory-Friendly Dinosaur Encounters show occurs the second Saturday of each month at 11:30 am. Sign up for our newsletter to get regular updates and more.

Fun, educational, and interactive, Dinosaur Encounters features NHM's life-size dinosaur puppets. Our Sensory-Friendly Dinosaur Encounters performance provides a warm welcome to guests who need a less stimulating environment and the opportunity to move around during the show.
