Accessibility

The Alamo strives to provide a memorable experience to every visitor.

All public areas of the Alamo are accessible however, the historic structures may present challenges. Alamo Staff members are here to assist. We welcome visitor feedback in reference to accessibility issues.

• Service animals are welcome at the Alamo.

• Restrooms are ADA compliant and can be found at the back of the grounds near the covered arbor area. Please ask any red shirted Alamo employee for direction.

• The original flagstone floors are uneven in some areas. Visitors are encouraged to use caution when moving through historic structures whether on foot or in wheeled chairs or scooters.
• The original church building has only one wheeled access doorway. Please use the front door for entrance and egress. A staff member is stationed nearby to assist.
