Accessibility
The WDM is committed to ensuring that all visitors can enjoy an inclusive and accessible experience. We’re continually working to improve accessibility and remove barriers to participation. Visitors are encouraged to contact their local Museum before their visit for detailed accessibility information or to discuss specific needs.
Mobility Access
-
Each Museum offers accessible entrances, galleries, washrooms and designated parking spaces for visitors with mobility needs. Exhibits feature wide pathways suitable for wheelchairs, walkers and strollers.
Guests Requiring Support Aids
-
Guests with a disability requiring assistance will pay the regular admission fee, and their support aid will receive complimentary access to the Museum.
Service Animals
-
The WDM supports the inclusion of service animals and is committed to accommodating their attendance in accordance with accessibility requirements. Staff may inquire about the specific tasks the service animal is trained to perform, as permitted by law, to ensure a safe and welcoming environment for all visitors.
SaskTel Safe Kids Program
Having a child lost in the Museum can be scary for everyone. The SaskTel Safe Kids Program provides a wristband for children under six years old. The wristband has a place for the caregiver or parent to write a phone number for Museum staff to quickly reunite the child and parent or caregiver if they are separated during their time at the Museum.
Get your wristband at Visitor Services.
Sensory Backpack Program
The WDM offers sensory backpacks available for use while exploring the Museum, courtesy of Variety – the Children’s Charity.
Children and youth who live with sensory processing disabilities such as autism often do not have the ability to filter out external stimuli (loud sounds; bright lights), making outings difficult for both them and their families.
The sensory backpacks are filled with resources for self-regulation, tactile input, attention-focusing tools and body awareness support items.
Backpacks are loaned out during a Museum visit free of charge at the Visitor Services desk. The contents are cleaned and sanitized after each use.
Visit the gift shops!
Each WDM location has a unique gift shop full of wonderful Saskatchewan-finds.
