  • AccessNow Verified Review: The front entrance of the Museum of Contempary Art (MOCA) has an automatic door opener and once you get inside, you can either take the stairs or the long switch-back ramp up to the main level where the welcome desk is. Support workers enter free of charge, and you can also borrow wheelchairs or large print copies of exhibition texts from here. The building itself is entirely accessible, with elevators to every floor. There is also a lovely café on the main floor, however, all of the tables are high top. Accessible, all gendered washrooms are available on each floor. There are washrooms with stalls — including spacious accessible stalls with grab bars — as well as family washrooms. The Museum of Contemporary Art has a very quiet atmosphere overall, although some audiovisual exhibitions can be noisy. Nonetheless, the staff at the front desk are more than willing to let you know which floors might be louder or more visually stimulating than others. MOCA is in proximity to two wheelchair-accessible subway stations, Dundas West and Lansdowne, but they are both over a kilometer away. The museum does not have a parking lot and there’s limited street parking options available. Wheel-Trans can pull up in front of the museum on Sterling Road for drop off and pick up. Overall, MOCA is very wheelchair accessible and it’s also nice to see their commitment to financial accessibility with free admission to patrons under the age of 18 and through several other community-led initiatives.
