Who it suits

Wheelchairs and strollers
The museum elevator connects both floors and is large enough for multiple people plus mobility devices. A ramp connects the permanent gallery to the weigh chamber. The full sized boat model in the weigh chamber is connected by non-ADA compliant ramps; plans are in development for a new ADA compliant ramp. Both second-floor restrooms have a larger stall to accommodate mobility devices.
