Accessible Disabled Friendly Attractions
Planning before visiting an accessible attraction when you have a disability, especially a mobility impairment is automatic as many attractions are not (or cannot be) as accessible as we would like. Because of this ABLEize highlights accessible disabled friendly attractions. More and more locations are gradually becoming more accessible for people with disabilities and mobility problems such as wheelchair users and the blind.
We have built this accessible attractions section to assist you in finding great places to visit that are stress free and more accessible to your needs and highlights some of the larger or more popular attractions worth visiting along with details of attractions that provide greater levels of accessibility for all. In most cases we have listed the accessible page of the site concerned to save you clicking through the sites looking for these sometimes buried pages.
