The museum has three floor levels. Access to the upper level is gained via the main entrance to the building. To gain access to the lower level, wheelchair users will have to exit the building and re-enter via an alternative entrance located approximately 25 metres from the main entrance down a slight incline. Access to the third level can be gained from the lower level by means of a lift located between the replica 1930's garage and the Interactive Gallery.
It is only possible for wheelchair users to gain access to the Entrance Hall and Picture Gallery. The other parts of the House are inaccessible owing to the number of stairs.
Disabled toilets are available within the Brabazon Food Court, which is centrally located within the complex. A ramp next to the central pathway affords easy access.
