Can I use the freight elevator?
Guests are strictly forbidden from operating the freight elevator. If you or someone in your party is unable to climb the stairs, please inform us and a Rooftop Reds staff member will operate the elevator for your party. To arrange this ahead of time, please email events@rooftopreds.com.
What else can I explore in the Navy Yard?
You can’t. Rooftop Reds guests must come straight from the Sands St. Gate to Rooftop Reds and leave directly from Rooftop Reds through the Sands St. Gate. The Brooklyn Navy Yard is a controlled, industrial facility and any guests found loitering or exploring the yard will be banned from Rooftop Reds.
