Amenities and Policies

AMENITIES
Overlooking Otsego Lake, the Fenimore Café’s terrace offers one of the most spectacular views of Fenimore’s “Glimmerglass”  - it’s the perfect spot to enjoy a glass of wine or indulge in a sumptuous dessert.  Visitors may dine at the café without paying the Museum entry fee.

Restrooms are located on the Upper and Lower levels. The Lower level restrooms are handicapped accessible and have baby changers.

Drinking fountains are located outside the Lower level restrooms.

All of the Museum's public galleries are accessible to wheelchair users and other visitors who need to avoid stairs via an elevator that is large enough to accommodate motorized wheelchairs.

Small coin-operated lockers located in the Visitors' Room.
