Plan your visit

  • Best gate: "The easiest and most accessible gate is the East Gate located on the Gilmer Street side," with "ample level parking" (Booth Museum visitor FAQ, [Official], Checked Oct 16, 2026). The museum has "a ground level entrance to the Museum from the parking lot on Gilmer Street," and parking is free (Booth Museum plan-your-visit page, [Official], Checked Oct 16, 2026).
  • Accessible parking: "Designated parking spaces for vehicles with a disability permit are available in the parking lot" (Booth Museum accessibility page, [Official], Checked Oct 16, 2026). "Handicap parking and the most convenient public parking is located in the Tabernacle lot across Gilmer Street from the Museum's east entrance" (Booth Museum plan-your-visit page, [Official], Checked Oct 16, 2026).
  • Loaner wheelchairs: "the Museum has manual wheelchairs available on a first-come, first-served basis" (same page).
  • Restrooms: "All restrooms include an accessible stall as well as baby-changing facilities," and "An adult changing station is located in the restroom next to the Ballroom on the first floor" (same page).
  • Seating: "Seating is provided in the galleries on all levels of the building" (same page).
  • Hearing and sensory: the tour app "features an audio-guided tour and is compatible with Bluetooth hearing aids"; art-making programs offer "noise-canceling headphones and fidgets" (same page). The orientation film is closed captioned (Booth Museum plan-your-visit page, [Official], Checked Oct 16, 2026).

Heads-up: use the East Gate. "The North Gate has steps leading down to the museum from the parking lot" (Booth Museum visitor FAQ, [Official], Checked Oct 16, 2026). The East Gate on Gilmer Street is the step-free way in, so this doesn't change the scores.
