The main entrance to the Toy Museum is accessible at ground level and fitted with an automatic door opener operated by a push button.
The ticket counter is designed to be inclusive. A wheelchair-accessible lift to the exhibition rooms and an accessible toilet are located on the ground floor. In addition, the ground-floor exhibition features a tactile floor guidance system for blind and visually impaired visitors, as well as a large exhibition table with space underneath for wheelchairs.
Two wheelchairs are available free of charge for visitors with walking difficulties. One wheelchair is specifically designed for children, whilst the other is a standard model suitable for young people and adults of all ages and sizes.
