Museum Accessibility
The DFM is housed in a 1909 firehouse listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This means that our historic building may not meet all ADA requirements.
The main entrance is wheelchair accessible and does not require a ramp. Access to the second floor is by stairs only. A stroller parking area is available on the first floor.
We want your museum experience to be the best one possible! If you need any accommodations or have questions, please contact us at 303-892-1436 or info@denverfirefightersmuseum.org

Sensory Bags
We realize that the Denver Firefighters Museum can be an overstimulating environment. Ask our front desk staff for a Sensory Bag including noise-cancelling headphones for adults and children, sunglasses, gloves, and fidgets.
