Please note that the width of some door openings inside the historic buildings may limit access for people with motorized scooters and wheelchairs; entry door widths are listed in the Guide to Visitors with Disabilities. The Christie Theatre is equipped with an assistive listening system. Ask at the admissions desk for a receiver. The orientation film about life in 1914, which plays throughout the day in the Christie Theatre during the summer and fall months, is open captioned. Service animals are always welcome at the Ken Seiling Waterloo Region Museum. The Region of Waterloo maintains TTY access for people who are deaf or have difficulty hearing at 519-575-4608.
