Access For All

Inclusive Environments for Every Child

At Knock Knock Children’s Museum, we believe all children deserve the opportunity to explore, learn, and have fun in a safe and inclusive environment. That is why we are dedicated to expanding access to our wonderful facility to all children and their families, including those with disabilities and special needs or those facing significant financial challenges. 

Special Features

Recognizing that some children with physical, cognitive, and/or sensory challenges, need a little more assistance to fully experience the museum, we have specially designed features to ensure that every child has the opportunity to learn through play.

Handicap Parking

Our parking lot features handicapped spaces and ramp access.

Wheelchair Accessible

All Learning Zones and restrooms are wheelchair accessible.

Adaptive Play Experiences

Ability Bags & Boxes

We have partnered with Our Lady of the Lake/McMains Children’s Developmental Center to create special Ability Bags and Ability Boxes. These bags and boxes provide adaptive play experiences for 10 of our 18 Learning Zones and are available upon request at the front desk. Each bag is equipped with a communication book, map of the museum, a visor with a laser pointer to aid in simple communication, and a special button that adapts technology in the zones.
