The Park is situated on 158 acres and although period transportation is available, only the stream train is equipped for wheelchairs, and the physical demands of walking the site are considerable. The streetcar is not accessible for walkers or wheelchairs, we also do not allow strollers on the streetcar.
Programs offered at the Park accommodate special needs wherever possible. Notification of any special needs requirements must be identified at the time of registration. One personal care attendant is admitted free of charge.
