After guests enter the Museum and receive their Visitor Credential, the Museum experience begins with an elevator ride to the top floor. From there, a ramped path winds progressively downward to the main floor, creating a parallel visit experience for guests of all abilities as they venture through the interactive galleries.
The Museum is one of the most accessible and interactive museums in the world, designed, so all guests experience the Museum the same way. Some of the universal design technologies include open captions, audio-description tracks, assisted listening, universal keypads, RFID-triggered customizations, accessible exhibit spaces with ramped experiences and more. Team USA athletes were involved and consulted throughout the project to ensure an authentic experience with universal design. The Museum is ADA compliant throughout.
Located on the first floor just off the lobby, The Museum Shop offers a variety of merchandise for guests of all ages. Merchandise ranges from high-end brands to exclusive Museum gear not available anywhere else. Best of all, guests can use cutting-edge technology to create a Personalized Digital Retail Experience. This will be the first museum in the world to offer this type of experience in a retail program, including a digital mirror that allows guests to ‘virtually’ try on their favorite gear. The Museum Shop is open to the public during Museum hours of operation; guests do not need Museum admission to enter the Shop.
