A limited number of wheelchairs are available at the Welcome Center on a first-come, first-serve basis, however, we recommend that guests requiring mobility assistance come prepared with wheelchairs/walkers. 

Please note: there are no carting services available. 

Parking. There are handicap parking spots in Lots A, B and C. On busy days, guests may need to park in our overflow parking "Lot C" and walk back to the Welcome Centre. You are welcome to drop off elders or those with mobility challenges at the Welcome Centre first and then proceed to parking.
