The Stutthof Museum is accessible by public transport, with a bus stop for lines coming from Elbląg and Gdańsk located approximately 200 meters from the Museum, or by private transport.
There are 4 designated parking spaces for people with disabilities in front of the Museum entrance. To use these parking spaces, a Parking Card issued for the individual (not for the car) or the institution is required. The parking spaces are non-standard, and parking can be done parallel to the curb, with one side of the vehicle facing the sidewalk and the other side facing the roadway.
The entrance to the Stutthof Museum for individuals with mobility impairments is the same as for all other visitors, through the main entrance.
Visitors enter the Museum through a turnstile. For individuals in wheelchairs, those using orthopedic equipment, or those with strollers, there is an alternative entrance next to the turnstile. To open the gate, the button for the bell should be pressed, and the gate will be opened by the Museum Security.
On the left side, there is the Visitor Service Office. The office is accessible by wheelchair with the assistance of a tracked stairlift. The need to use the stairlift can be reported in advance by phone or email to the Visitor Service Office, or on-site upon arrival at the Museum.
The counter in the Visitor Service Office is lowered and is accessible for wheelchair users.
At the Visitor Service Office, wheelchairs are available for free loan during the visit. There are 2 wheelchairs available for use.
Most of the pathways used by tourists between the museum exhibits are paved with cobblestones that have significant unevenness, sidewalk slabs with irregularities, or grass, which may make movement difficult. This is due to the preservation of the original condition of the majority of the Museum’s area.

The entrances to the barracks, where exhibits are displayed, are equipped with ramps for wheelchairs, but there are fairly high thresholds at the entrances to the barracks and inside the barracks. There is enough space inside the barracks for maneuvering typical wheelchairs (both children’s and disabled).
All ramps on the Museum grounds are made of metal, openwork grating.
The building of the former crematorium can be visited with a wheelchair only partially (the first room). There are stairs to the other rooms.
The exit from the Museum is different from the entrance. The exit is directly next to the parking lot, along the path from the Monument to the Struggle and Martyrdom. The path is uneven and paved with cobblestones.
The toilet on the Museum grounds is adapted for people with mobility impairments. It has sufficient maneuvering space, handrails, and a call system. However, the toilets at the Museum do not have changing tables for children or adults.
