Accessibility

All are welcome at the Scott Family Amazeum.

The Amazeum is an inclusive environment designed for all guests to access experiences in science, technology, engineering, art and math (STEAM).

The museum is accessible by persons using assistive technologies. The resources on this page are designed to support our guests with diverse abilities when they interact with our exhibits.  

A visual schedule is available to download and help support pre-planning and structuring a visit to the Amazeum. The visual schedule is a collection of photos of the Amazeum exhibits and spaces.

We realize that the Amazeum can be an overstimulating environment. Ask our Guest Services team for noise-cancelling headphones, fidgets, or other resources to support your experience. 

 

Assistive Technologies

The Amazeum exhibit floor is wheelchair accessible. A lift is located near Cloud Theater to access activities in General Mills Lift, Load and Haul and an elevator in the main lobby provides access to the 2nd floor. The Canopy Climber and Treehouse are challenging for people with mobility issues. 

Ask an Amazeum Play Facilitator for information on assistive devices for use during a visit. 

Service Dogs Always Welcome

The Amazeum welcomes service dogs trained to assist disabled guests during their visit. 

All other animals, including emotional support animals and pets, are prohibited. 

Misrepresenting an animal as a "service animal" is subject to civil penalty under Arkansas law.

Bicycle Friendly Features

The trails found in Northwest Arkansas are crafted to initiate exploration and imagination.

Being in a nationally recognized biking location, the Scott Family Amazeum takes great pride in being bike accessible and bike friendly.

The Razorback Greenway trail system reaches the better part of Northwest Arkansas, connecting the animated suburban communities with the Amazeum. Using the Greenway, guests can access the Amazeum via the Crystal Bridges Trail. From the Crystal Bridges Trail, visitors should merge onto the Art Trail, the Tulip Tree Trail, and then to the Orchard Trail. A hydration station is available off of the Orchard Trail, located in the additional parking lot of Crystal Bridges. The Amazeum is located to the right, adjacent to the Orchards Park.

A variety of Bentonville trails lead to the Amazeum, also. For more information, please explore the Visit Bentonville website for area biking resources, events and maps.

Bicycle friendly features to look for at the Amazeum include a free bicycle repair station, water bottle filler and parking availability, supported by the generosity of Coca-Cola. Of course, you are always welcome to come in and play!

Whether your ride leads to or starts at the Amazeum, have fun, be safe, and wear a helmet!
