Is Meow Wolf inclusive to wheelchair users?

     ​Travel to another universe and roll through the galaxies. Meow Wolf Convergence Station in Denver Colorado did a beautiful job providing accessibility throughout their campus. This was originally an activity we thought wouldn’t be feasible for our son Robbie because of his need for accessibility.

     ​When you arrive at Convergence Station there is a security tent where you check in. You may hear a loudspeaker announcing no strollers or large backpacks are allowed. Always remember if your child has a disability their stroller is considered a mobility device and counted as a wheelchair! As for bags, if you require a medical bag, you can bring it with you. Security will check the bag and give you a bright colored tag that says, “approved item”. 

     If you are traveling through space with a small child or baby, I recommend using a child carrier so you can explore hands free. You can also check a bag inside for a small fee or drop your coat for free!
    Speaking of coat check, this is where you go to check out FREE sensory items! You will exchange a photo ID for a bag you can fill with sunglasses, noise cancelling headphones (our baby loved these), and fidget toys. They also offer a sensory guide for the campus which I have provided pictures of below so you can prepare!

     Don’t be afraid to get lost inside! Whether you walk or roll everyone gets a little turned around, it’s part of the fun! Each floor can be accessed by elevator. I recommend starting at the main one-way elevator to the left when you are standing in the lobby. There are employees that are happy to answer questions!
     If someone in your party has a condition sensitive to strobe lights, pay attention to the signage as you choose which rooms you enter. There are also quiet rooms scattered throughout the exhibit for sensory breaks and so many interactive pieces.

​     About halfway through our time here our family was ready for a break, and we needed to change our son. If you are also in need of a private space for any reason, go to the front desk and ask to use the guest services lounge. This room has a quiet sitting area with chairs and a couch that can be used for nursing mothers, and a full-size fixed height changing table being a privacy shield! This room meant the world to our family. We happened to visit on a cold snowy day and because of this space we didn’t have to leave early to change our son in the back of our vehicle exposed to the weather.

     Meow Wolf was truly such an inclusive experience. We were able to dive into this unique atmosphere feeling fully supported and welcomed. It isn’t something we find often so when we do it’s worth celebrating and sharing! Here is a link for tickets. ​https://meow.wf/3SFolLK
