Navigate with Ease

Museum Accessibility

The staff and volunteers of the Perot Museum are committed to providing the highest quality visit for each and every guest to the extent that we are able to do so. Given the size and scope of our building, please know you may have to do a good deal of standing and walking on a visit to the Museum.

How can we help?

While the information here provides a general overview of accessibility features, we encourage you to contact us in advance of your visit with any questions or specific needs — 214.428.5555 or info@perotmuseum.org.

Handicap Parking

A limited number of accessible parking spots are available in the Main Museum Parking Lot (Lot B) under Woodall Rodgers Freeway. As you enter the lot, an attendant can help direct you to the closest available accessible spot. If all accessible parking spots in Lot B are full, limited additional accessible parking is available in the Special Permit Parking Lot (Lot A), located on the west side of the building. Entrance to the Special Permit Parking Lot is located on Houston Street and controlled with a gated entry. At the gate, press the button to speak with security and request access to the accessible parking.

Companion Care Restroom

A private restroom that includes a changing table and wheelchair access is available for parents/caregivers of older children or teens with limited mobility. Located on the Lower Level, please ask any Perot Museum employee for access.

Entrances and Exhibits

All public entrances and all levels of the Perot Museum are accessible by either elevator or walkways to accommodate both manual and motorized wheelchairs, as well as electric mobility scooters and visitors who prefer to avoid stairs.

Wheelchairs

Wheelchair rentals are available on a first-come, first-served basis from the Box Office on Level 1. Rentals are free and we do not accept reservations for wheelchairs. Please note that on busy days (holidays, special events and summer weekends) wheelchairs rent out quickly and may not be available; it may be wise to make other arrangements. You are welcome to bring your own manual wheelchair, motorized wheelchair or electric mobility scooter.
