Many visitors with special needs visit Eastern State Penitentiary every year.
That
said, the penitentiary complex is not fully ADA compliant. The building is
nearly 200 years old and is a National Historic Landmark. Sections of it may
never be fully accessible.
There is a
small exhibit and gift shop that are only accessible by a set of three steps.
This section of the penitentiary can easily be bypassed.
The rest of the tour
route is equipped with ADA compliant ramps and meets most ADA guidelines.
Guide dogs,
service animals, or service animals in training are welcome.
The digital
equipment used for "The Voices of Eastern State" Audio Tour includes
special features for those with sight, hearing and mobility impairments.
These
special features include raised dots that indicate the number five on the
keypad, color-coded and shaped control buttons, compatibility with hearing aid
T-switch, lightweight design with comfortable carrying strap and
telephone-style keypads with backlit buttons.
