NIAGARA FALLS ACCESS FOR DISABLED VISITORS
Nothing
beats the thrill and beauty of Niagara Falls itself. Wheelchair users can gaze
at the falls from any number of good vantage points.
The
most difficult thing is fighting for viewing space among the throngs that
gather along hundreds of feet of security fence that keeps visitors from
falling into the gorge below.
The
Maid of the Mist building has a series of ramps that allow wheelchair users to
get up to an observation platform that gives a bird’s eye view of the
thundering falls.
The
observation deck is positioned perfectly for panoramas of both the American and
Canadian falls.
Elsewhere
within the Niagara Parks Commission grounds, the sprawling Table Rock building
features excellent barrier-free access to souvenirs and food.
It
also has a well-designed unisex restroom that comes in handy for wheelchair
users requiring assistance from an opposite sex companion.
