Accessibility in the Park New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park is committed to making all practicable efforts to make the visitor center, programs, services, employment, and meaningful work opportunities accessible and usable by all individuals. The national park is located within a historic district that strives to preserve and protect the history of the area and several buildings were built before current accessibility standards were set. Please note the park has cobblestone streets, historic homes, and a working waterfront. The national park's goal is to provide the highest level of accessibility to our visitors as possible. If your questions concerning accessibility are unanswered after reading the below information, please contact us at 508-996-4095.

Service Animals New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park policy is that service animals are allowed, but must be harnessed, leashed, or tethered, unless these devices interfere with the service animal’s work or the individual’s disability prevents using these devices. In that case, the individual must maintain control of the animal through voice, signal, or other effective controls. For more information about pets and service animals in national parks.
