Drop-off and Parking
The Museum parking lot has four designated ADA spaces. Parking with an ADA pass displayed is always complimentary.
Entrances along NW Market Street are always accessible during Museum hours. The west entrance, on 28th Ave NW, has a ramp entrance to the facility. This side of the building also includes a drop-off area adjacent to the main entrance.
The south entrance, from the Museum’s parking lot onto The Fisherman’s Sun Terrace, also provides a ramp entrance. Occasionally, the Sun Terrace is rented out for special events and may not be accessible to the public.
Pet Policy
We warmly welcome service animals at the National Nordic Museum! These specially trained animals assist people with disabilities. While we love all pets, please note that only service animals are permitted inside. Pets, therapy, emotional support, and comfort animals, though important, are not classified as service animals and are therefore not allowed. Thank you for your understanding!
Wheelchair Loan
The Museum has two manual wheelchairs available for public use on a first-come, first-served basis. If you would like to borrow a wheelchair for your visit, please ask at the Admissions desk for availability.
Exhibitions
The galleries on the first floor and East Garden are accessible from the ground floor. The second floor galleries are accessible via two elevator options.
Tours
Tours are available for groups of ten or more visitors. For more information, please email us or call 206.789.5707 x7009.
Low Vision Services
Magnifiers are available at the Admissions desk for use in the Museum galleries, educational resource rooms, and the Cultural Resource Center. We ask that guests requesting to use a magnifier sign it out by leaving contact information with the Guest Services staff.
Color Accessibility
EnChroma glasses can be checked out at the Admissions desk for use in the Museum galleries, educational resource rooms, and the Cultural Resource Center. We wish to thank Visit Seattle for making these available for our guests.
