Accessibility Information

Let us make your experience as easy and rewarding as possible

The Parker strives to make each patron’s visit one of complete comfort and satisfaction. We offer a variety of services to improve your visit.

THEATER ACCESS

Our facilities feature ADA-approved signage, handrails and automatic door openers.

Patrons with limited mobility may be dropped off in front of the theater via the front driveway. The drop off point allows for access to all event and meeting spaces.

SPECIAL SEATING

Special seating locations for persons with disabilities may be purchased in advance or in-person at the box office during regular business hours. Accessible seating is also available for purchase online. If you have any questions, please Contact Us using our online form or by calling 954.462.0222, press 1.

Wheelchair/Accessible Ticketing Policy

It is prohibited for anyone, other than those requiring the accessible features of a seat or that of a guest's companion to use accessible seating locations (unless the area has been released for general seating). Those purchasing wheelchair accessible seating may purchase one (1) wheelchair accessible seat and up to three (3) companion seats; any additional seats must be purchased in the regular seating areas. This policy ensures that we are able to accommodate all available and accessible wheelchair seats in our theaters.

WHEELCHAIR AVAILABILITY

We have a limited number of wheelchairs available at no charge. Please ask any Guest Services Manager or Front of House personnel for assistance.

ASSISTIVE LISTENING DEVICES

Assistive Listening Devices are available in all of our performance spaces.

These devices amplify and clarify sound for patrons who are hard of hearing. There is no charge for the use of the headset. If you wish to use one of these headsets during your visit, please visit the Guest Services Desk in the Main Lobby.

The Broward Center now features an alternative ALD which allows you to connect to a new Bluetooth-enabled Listen Everywhere ALD system. You provide your own smartphone to access the system. Your Bluetooth-enabled hearing aids will connect automatically to the system after following these steps:

  • Download the Listen Everywhere app
  • VERY IMPORTANT - Connect to the Parker_Accessibility WiFi Network on your phone
  • Log into the Listen Everywhere App
  • Follow prompts in the app to regulate the sound level to your liking
  • Be aware that the screen does not dim automatically, so please make the adjustments before the performance begins

Please visit the Bank of America Guest Services Desk with any questions about the ALD service.
