You can use them but you can't get the full experience to all the facets of the museum.

There is parking for folks with wheels... elevator...but some areas are pretty tight - space-wise. I wouldn't say don't go - do what you can and enjoy what you can.

The floors themselves are accessible to wheelchairs and they have elevators, however majority of the museum is climbing and small passages, and therefore is not accessible by wheelchair.

It would pretty much be a waste of time & money. I'm afraid the set-up just isn't wheelchair friendly. There are literally spots that you have to crawl to access, and that's pretty much what this place is all about. Little nooks & crannies to explore. Small, sort of fenced-in "tunnels" (that you HAVE to crawl through, no other way to get through) Slides, 2 ball pits, old airplanes, a fire truck and a school bus, all of them "gutted" to walk through. Some of them, like the bus & the planes are either suspended in the air or precariously (but safely) dangling over the edge of the building. You can literally spend an entire day exploring everything, but I'm afraid an individual in a wheelchair would feel sorely out of place and left with not much to do. 😕

There is a ramp that gets you into the museum and an elevator that gets to every floor. But unfortunately most of the areas are full of obstacles and equipment that aren't very wheel chair friendly. The whole museum is basically a gigantic McDonald's play place on steroids, with lots of climbing and crawling in tight places.

It would be very difficult to use a wheelchair at the City Museum. You wouldn't be able to experience much of the City Museum.

You wont be able to experience it. It is all about climbing, exploring, sliding.

Most areas are not wheelchair accessible, but you can still go

There is an elevator and you could access the architectural museum and the aquarium (an extra fee is charged for aquarium access), but the majority of the "attractions" would not be accessible.
