Discovery Museum is open for all inquisitive minds, including visitors with physical, sensorial, mental and/or intellectual impairments. However, Discovery Museum is a stimulus-rich museum, with lots of images, sound and movement.
Once a quarter, we organise a stimulus-friendly opening where light and sound are muted. Outside regular opening hours, part of the museum is opened to anyone who is sensitive to stimuli. This way, we give them the opportunity to also enjoy what Discovery Museum has to offer. During the opening, adjustments are made to the exhibition and routing to make the visit as stimulus-friendly as possible. The stimulus-friendly opening is organised in cooperation with Stichting Onbeperkt Genieten. For more information (page in Dutch): Prikkelvriendelijk museumbezoek
Visitors in wheelchairs have unobstructed access to the various buildings, where they will also find a disabled toilet and a number of elevators.
Admission is free for essential carers (they are requested to present a public transport escort card).
Pets must stay outside, but registered service dogs on a leash are welcome.
Disabled parking spaces are available at the P+R next to Kerkrade centre station, reservations are not required. The museum can then be reached via a wheelchair-accessible path to the entrance.
Please contact us if you have special requirements so that we may be of assistance to you.
