Description
The Montréal Science Centre is equipped with two hygiene rooms with changing tables for adults. The one located between the reception area and the Telus IMAX cinema also features a rail-mounted lift, which can be used for both the toilet and the adult changing table. The other hygiene room is located in the Mini Mondo family washroom. It is also equipped with a mini-toilet.
A range of adapted equipment is also available, as well as a Guide for accompanying people with special needs.
Nearest accessible metro station: Place-d'Armes.
Please note: The opening times of the two entrance doors are not well synchronized, leaving insufficient time to cross the vestibule before they close, especially as the distance between the two doors is limited.
