We are constantly working to make our space accessible to all, and the majority of our building is suitable for wheelchair users. However, there are a few areas that are inaccessible. Our visitor services staff will be there to guide you to our accessible routes.

We have push wheelchairs available for anyone who may require one and two battery-operated wheelchairs to aid those who need assistance. Please speak to reception if you are in need of a wheelchair and please be aware that they require a second user to operate.

Some of our galleries are fitted with stair lifts. These can only be operated by staff – please speak to a visitor guide to use. Many of our galleries have ramped access, check descriptions in the map or ask our team to identify the best route. The Deep Time gallery is not suitable for wheelchairs or buggies.

There are also four accessible parking spaces at the Stranmillis Road side of the building.

When you arrive, place your order at the counter and then take a seat, staff will deliver your order to your table. Contactless payment is advised where possible. There’s also the option to bring a picnic to eat outdoors in Botanic Gardens.
