Public Accommodation

A "public accommodation" is a private entity that owns, operates, leases, or leases to, a place of public accommodation. Places of public accommodation include a wide range of entities, such as restaurants, hotels, theaters, doctors' offices, pharmacies, retail stores, museums, libraries, parks, private schools, and day care centers. Private clubs and religious organizations are exempt from the ADA's title III requirements for public accommodations. See EEOC's Fact Sheet on Public Accommodations; Americans with Disabilities Act Questions and Answers; and 28 CFR 36.104.
