No

Snacks are fine!

Yes, I think they do.

The accessibility issues are a result of the ship’s original Navy ladders and “knee-knockers”. In many places, the Museum installed modified staircases referred to as “bunny slopes” for some ease in navigating. I recently took one of my neighbors who was 87 years of age...he had both knees replaced and needed a walker to get around which restricted access to areas where ladders needed to be used or one had to step over “knee-knockers”. So how did we tour the ship? We used the elevators and video kiosks. There are 3 elevators...one near the entrance to get you from the pier to the entrance brow, one inside the Hangar Bay that takes you to the Mess Deck (2nd Deck), and one on the outside of the Hangar Bay that takes you to the Flight Deck. The elevators on the ship are located on the starboard side (right hand side/parking lot side). There are also three video kiosks - Flight Deck, Hangar Bay, Mess Deck - that have video presentations of the areas that are difficult to access. If you need assistance in locating the elevators and kiosks, just ask a “Yellow Hat” (Docent) and they are also able to answer any questions you might have about the presentations featured on the video kiosks. We spent over three hours exploring the ship and he thoroughly enjoyed it.

Yes, no Problem.

Sorry- I am unsure.

yes there is

The museum offers Complimentary wheel chairs, that is, Free! A person in a wheelchair can see approx 60% of the museum in the wheelchair.

He would enjoy it. They have elevators to facilitate access to the main deck and the hanger deck.

Hello. Yes a baby backpack is fine however be advised that we do have some pretty low ceilings and hatchways. I am 6' tall and have to duck in some places. Also some of the ladders are a bit steep. Over all I would say you may only need to carry him/her 20% of the time during your visit. Thank you for your interest and we hope to see you soon.
