Yes. The big room has stairs to access but you can come in through another door that has a ramp.

There are always lines and in October that will be an even bigger problem.

It looks like they are open year round, but are closed for a few weeks during January. Check their website for further details.
Q:
About how long does it take for all the presentations?
