We have 47 wide blue badge parking bays however, on very busy days additional parking may be necessary but this would also be on tarmac and compressed stone, both very close to attractions, toilets and food outlets. A valid Blue Badge must be displayed at all times in the vehicle whilst using these bays.
Although we are built on a valley, the only hills to climb/descend are: between Discovery Trail and the Adventure Theme Park but this is regularly used by wheelchair-bound guests. There is also a modest incline from the blue badge parking bays up to the Car Park Toilets and Changing Places, guests can move their car closer to access the toilets. The path leading to the African Walking Trail has a steep incline with a compressed gravel surface, we do not recommend this route for wheelchair or mobility scooter users. There is a tarmacked road access to the African Walking Trail, following the road up from Marmoset Mischief, please use this route instead.
Lemur Woods is also wheelchair friendly, however is built on a hillside and may be more difficult to navigate in adverse weather.
Pedestrian walkways are fairly wide allowing good access to mobility scooters and free from vehicle access in most areas. The African Walking Trail has shared vehicle access.
The Sea Lion Theatre has ground floor access suitable for wheelchair access with dedicated seating and wheelchair space with full view of the show.
All of our animal habitats in the Discovery Trail are at ground level or via ramps with good wheelchair access.
Adventure Theme Park rides have some restrictions for some disabilities, but are well signposted to avoid confusion.
