This year marks the 31st anniversary of the signing of the Americans With Disabilities Act, a law designed to make the United States more accessible for people of all abilities. New York State offers many opportunities for travelers with accessibility needs. We’d also love to hear from you: send us info about great accessible places or programs you’ve experienced in New York State at info@iloveny.com. Hundreds of attractions across the state offer accessibility features, with some even providing specialty programming like sensory-friendly museum days and adaptive skiing and snowboarding. For visitors with digital accessibility needs, I LOVE NY offers the Ally Toolbar that allows our visitors to use tools that read any page on our website aloud and customize the appearance of our site with a visual toolkit. Enable the Ally Toolbar today to access these tools across iloveny.com. In addition to the attractions and activities found on I LOVE NY, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation website features information about accessible recreation. Also, New York State Parks, Recreation & Historic Preservation offers an access pass for free or discounted admission to state parks, historic sites, and recreational facilities to travelers with accessibility needs. 

In addition to articles about accessible experiences, I LOVE NY now features listings with a detailed Accessibility Amenities drop-down section to allow travelers to easily locate accessible attractions, lodging, and restaurants with accessible accommodations. On desktop, click the checkbox in the listings section below for the accessible accommodation type you are looking for—on mobile, first click on search, then the desired checkbox—then click through to an individual listing to see detailed information about what specific accessible accommodations are available at each attraction. For the most accurate information on accessibility amenities, please call or email the venue in advance.
