ACCESSIBLE OHIO -- PART 3


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.
