THE CINCINNATI ZOO AND BOTANICAL GARDEN
To
reach some of the zoo’s other exhibits requires covering hilly terrain.
But
not to worry.
If a guest can’t propel himself in a wheelchair and has no companion to assist, with 24 hours advance notice the zoo will assign a staffer to help.
The
zoo also enables the mobility of visitors with a tram and a train, both of
which have wheelchair lifts.
Once a visitor arrives at a display, he’s likely to find a sign indicating the best vantage point for a chair, scooter or stroller user.
The zoo is in the process of posting signs at
all the exhibits so those with mobility limitations won’t miss seeing a bear
being fed or a baby elephant in a playful mood.
To
arrange for a wheelchair-assisting companion and for other information, phone
the Cincinnati Zoo at 1-800-94-HIPPO.
