The Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, AZ has introduced several groundbreaking accessibility features at its Astronomy Discovery Center, one of the best “dark sky” experiences in America; including wheelchair-accessible telescopes, ADA-exceeding exhibits for visitors with vision impairment, advanced assistive listening systems for those with hearing impairment, and optimal sightlines in lecture spaces for wheelchair users.
Despite these impressive improvements, neither the Observatory nor the Discovery Center provide an accessibility page on their websites to share this information, truly a missed opportunity.
