Are there bathrooms at Flight 93 Memorial?

Yes, there are modern and well-maintained bathroom facilities at the Flight 93 National Memorial in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. In 2026, visitors can find restrooms in two primary locations: the Visitor Center, located on the hill overlooking the crash site, and the Visitor Shelter near the Memorial Plaza at the crash site itself. Both locations offer fully accessible facilities, including baby changing stations and water fountains. The Visitor Center bathrooms are open during standard operating hours (typically 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM), while the restrooms near the Memorial Plaza are generally accessible whenever the park grounds are open (sunrise to sunset). Because the memorial is located in a relatively remote rural area, these are the only public facilities for several miles. The National Park Service ensures these restrooms are kept clean to maintain the solemn and respectful atmosphere of the site. It is a good idea to use the facilities at the Visitor Center before starting the walking tour of the Allée or the Western Overlook Trail to ensure a comfortable visit.
