The Science Museum allows service animals to accompany people with disabilities. Service animals in the museum must be housebroken, as well as harnessed, leashed, or tethered unless the individual’s disability prevents using these devices. In that case, the individual must maintain the animal through effective controls. Misbehaving or out-of-control service animals may be asked to leave the premises. 

Please reference the MN Council on Disability’s Reference Guide for additional information.

A certified on-site support team is readily available to directly assess and treat general illnesses, injuries, and provide advanced medical care.

This same dedicated team is responsible for visitor safety monitoring, protective services, building emergencies, and safeguarding the museum parking ramp.

It is the policy of The Science Museum of Minnesota not to discriminate on the basis of disability. The Science Museum of Minnesota has adopted an internal grievance procedure providing for prompt and equitable resolution of complaints alleging any action prohibited by Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (29 U.S.C. 794) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services regulations implementing the Act.

The ADA states “no qualified individual with a disability shall, by reason of such disability, be excluded from participation in or be denied the benefits of the services, programs, or activities of a public entity, or be subjected to discrimination by such an entity.” Any person who believes she or he has been subjected to discrimination on the basis of disability may file a grievance. It is against the law for The Science Museum of Minnesota to retaliate against anyone who files a grievance or cooperates in the investigation of a grievance.

Any person who believes she or he has been subjected to discrimination on the basis of disability may file a grievance. You may submit a complaint in person at our Member desk in our lobby or by contacting the coordinator via these methods.

Phone: (651) 221-4583

1. Grievances must be submitted to the Section 504 Coordinator within 15 days of the date the person filing the grievance becomes aware of the alleged discriminatory action.
2. A complaint must be in writing, containing the name and address of the person filing it. The complaint must state the problem or action alleged to be discriminatory and the remedy or relief sought.
3. The Section 504 Coordinator (or their designee) shall conduct an investigation of the complaint. This investigation may be informal, but it must be thorough, affording all interested persons an opportunity to submit evidence relevant to the complaint. The Section 504 Coordinator will maintain the files and records of The Science Museum of Minnesota relating to such grievances
4. The Section 504 Coordinator will issue a written decision on the grievance no later than 30 days after its filing.
5. The person filing the grievance may appeal the decision of the Section 504 Coordinator by writing to the Chief Executive Officer within 15 days of receiving the Section 504 Coordinator’s decision. The Chief Executive Officer shall issue a written decision in response to the appeal no later than 30 days after its filing.
6. The availability and use of this grievance procedure does not prevent a person from filing a complaint of discrimination on the basis of disability with the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office for Civil Rights.

The Science Museum of Minnesota will make appropriate arrangements to ensure that disabled persons are provided other accommodations, if needed, to participate in this grievance process. Such arrangements may include, but are not limited to, providing interpreters for the deaf, providing audio recordings of material for the blind, or assuring a barrier-free location for the proceedings. The Science Museum of Minnesota will provide those reasonable accommodations unless they would present an undue financial or administrative burden or make a fundamental alteration to the nature of the program or activity. If a requested accommodation presents an undue burden or makes a fundamental alteration, The Science Museum of Minnesota will attempt to propose alternative solutions and/or accommodations which do not create such hardship or make such alteration. The Science Museum of Minnesota will work in good faith with the person requesting the accommodation to determine the availability of an acceptable alternative. The Section 504 Coordinator will be responsible for such arrangements.

La política del Science Museum of Minnesota (Museo de Ciencias de Minnesota) es no discriminar basado en una discapacidad. Dicho museo ha adoptado un procedimiento interno de presentar quejas que ofrece una resolución rápida y justa de las quejas que impliquen toda acción prohibida por la Sección 504 de Rehabilitation Act (Ley de Rehabilitación) de 1973 (29 USC 794) de las regulaciones del Departamento de Salud y Servicios Humanos de los EE. UU. que rigen la Ley.

La Ley ADA establece que “ningún individuo calificado con una discapacidad, por razón de dicha discapacidad, será excluido de participar o se le negarán los beneficios de los servicios, programas o actividades de una entidad pública, o ser objeto de discriminación por cualquiera de dichas entidades”.

Todo individuo que crea que ha sido objeto de discriminación por motivos de discapacidad puede interponer una queja. Es contra la ley que el Science Museum of Minnesota tome represalias contra el individuo que presente una queja o que coopere en la investigación de una queja.

Cualquier individuo que crea que ha sido objeto de discriminación por motivos de discapacidad puede presentar una queja. Se puede presentar una queja en persona en el mostrador para miembros situado en el vestíbulo del museo o comunicándose con el coordinador de las siguientes formas.

6. La disponibilidad y el uso de este procedimiento de presentar quejas no impide que una persona presente una queja por discriminación por razones de discapacidad ante la Oficina de Derechos Civiles del Departamento de Salud y Servicios Humanos de los EE. UU. (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office for Civil Rights). 

El Science Museum of Minnesota tomará las medidas necesarias para garantizar que las personas discapacitadas reciban adaptaciones razonables, si fueran necesarias, para participar en este procedimiento de presentar quejas. Tales medidas pueden incluir, pero sin limitarse a, ofrecer intérpretes para sordos, casetes de material grabado para ciegos o asegurar un lugar sin barreras durante la visita al museo. El museo proporcionará dichas adaptaciones o ajustes razonables a menos que representen una carga financiera o administrativa indebida o hagan una alteración fundamental del programa o la actividad. Si una adaptación solicitada significa una carga indebida o hace una modificación fundamental, el Saint Louis Science Center (Centro Saint Louis de Ciencia) tratará de proponer soluciones alternativas y / o adaptaciones que no creen tales dificultades o causen tal modificación. Dicho centro actuará de buena fe con la persona que solicita la adaptación para determinar la disponibilidad de una alternativa aceptable. El Coordinador de la Sección 504 será responsable de dichas medidas.
