How long will it take to tour the Museum?
From start to finish, it could take anywhere from one to three hours to see the Museum depending on a person’s level of interest with each exhibit. Because there is a lot to see, read, watch or interact with, there may be times when guests will have to wait a few moments before seeing the next exhibit on the tour. Guests are allowed to bypass exhibits. We just ask that you be courteous to the people directly in front of you and those a little further along in the tour.
Are pets allowed in the museum?
With the exception of service animals (dogs and/or miniature horses), animals are not allowed in the building. Service animals which present a threat to the health or safety of other guests or staff, which aggressively bark or snap at other guests or staff, are not housebroken, or are not effectively under control, will also be excluded. Pets should not be left in parked cars for any length of time. All service animals must be kept on a leash.
If I am in a wheelchair, can I comfortably tour the Museum?
The Mob Museum’s exhibits were designed by nationally renowned exhibit design firm, Gallagher & Associates, to comply with accessibility guidelines created by the American Association of Museums (AAM). The AAM’s guidelines were created specifically to help museums interpret the Americans with Disabilities Act’s (ADA) broad and at times subjective, regulations governing accessibility. The Museum offers a lift at the very front of the Museum, allowing guests to bypass the entry steps, we also offer elevator access to each floor of the Museum—making your visit very accessible. As a cultural attraction and public education resource, the Museum’s goal is to be as inclusive and accessible as possible; therefore, we continue to evaluate and seek ways to improve the guest experience for all visitors.
Are children permitted to visit The Mob Museum on their own?
Children under 14 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
