Beginning February 2008, the north-south drive between 65th St. and 62nd St. is no longer available for the drop off of patrons requiring wheelchairs or other walking assistance under the canopy of the Terrace at the New York State Theater for Lobby access. The best option for patrons with limited mobility who require access to the New York State Theater with as few stairs as possible is to be dropped off on W. 62nd. St. At the west end of the Theater prior to Damrosch Park. Patrons exiting vehicles at this location should then proceed north (toward Lincoln Center Plaza) along the side of the Theater and turn right at the west end of the terrace to reach the main Lobby entrance.
Wheelchair patrons may also be discharged at the New York StateTheater Wheelchair Entrance beginning 30 minutes before the start of the performance. Individuals wishing to access the Wheelchair Entrance for the New York State Theater should use the Lincoln Center Parking Garage entrance on Amsterdam Avenue at 63rd Street. Specifically, please utilize the second entrance, marked as Reserved Customers Only. Please notify the security guard on duty of the need to access this entrance. Then, follow the drive to the right.
The Wheelchair Entrance is located near the last pillar on the left hand side (New York State Theater Wheelchair Entrance is marked above the door and on the last pillar). Please use the red telephone directly outside the entrance to be buzzed into the building. Once inside, a security guard will direct you to the elevators that will take you to the Orchestra Level.
