About
Moonshot Museum is Pittsburgh's space museum, at 1016 N. Lincoln Avenue on the North Side (in the Manchester / Allegheny West area), sharing a building with the spacecraft company Astrobotic. Its galleries include floor-to-ceiling Clean Room Windows overlooking Astrobotic's spacecraft workshop, the Moonshot Theater, The Lab (build your own lunar rover), and Lunar Surface and Lunar Habitat areas. The museum is broadly accessible: an ADA-compliant main entrance, accessible parking directly in front, a stroller- and wheelchair-friendly layout, single-use gender-neutral accessible restrooms, free sensory bags, and service animals welcome — though it does not lend wheelchairs, so bring your own. It is open Thursday–Sunday (hours can change due to spacecraft testing — check current listings); admission is $12 for adults, $7 for children 3–12, and free under age 2.

Our Guidelines
1. Make Accessibility Info Easy to Find - Dedicated Website Accessibility Page

Clearly post detailed accessibility information online, covering parking, entrances, interior pathways, site plans, and more.


2. Include All Mobility Devices

Consider walkers, canes, crutches — not just wheelchairs. Provide specifics for a variety of mobility needs. Include people who use different devices in the conversation.

3. Go Beyond ADA Compliance

ADA is the minimum. Strive for real-world accessibility through thoughtful design and ongoing improvements.

4. Visibility = Accessibility

If disabled visitors aren't present, barriers may exist. Transparency and preparation are the keys to inclusion. Empower everyone to attend.
