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.
