WHERE TO GO WHEN YOU'VE GOT TO GO
Common places where you can often find restrooms:
Public Parks Many parks have restrooms, typically open during daylight hours. Some
cities also have self-cleaning toilets maintained by local public works departments.
Libraries Public libraries almost always have restrooms available during open hours!
Museums Larger museums often have lobby restrooms accessible without a ticket
purchase.
Churches Churches and other places of worship may have public restrooms, but
remember to be respectful!
Stores Shopping, grocery, department and hardware stores are usually places with
bathrooms. The larger chains almost always have them: Target, Trader Joes, Home
Depot, Macys, Gap etc. to name a few.
Hotels Some of the nicest bathrooms are in hotel lobbies. They are often open late
and the fancier the hotel, the more relaxed they are on bathroom access to the public.
Just ask the front desk!
Food/Drink Casual restaurants, bars and cafes often have restrooms. There may be
access codes required for restaurants/cafes in major cities.
Police & Fire Stations Local police and fire stations are public buildings and some will
have restrooms available to the public. But we recommend this as a last resort, to avoid
straining emergency services.
