Hi My Sister uses a wheelchair and we took her to the show a couple of weeks ago. From the parking lot to the seating area is only a short distance, but it is all gravel in the parking lot, so almost impossible to push a wheelchair. My Sister can crutch a little bit, so she ended up using her crutches to get inside. It is all flat inside. It is a really great show.

We were there two days ago - where they do the show is on pebbles/gravel so might be tricky to push a wheelchair right in, but there were some older people with walking sticks who managed fine and it's only a few yards from the entrance to the seating area. It was absolutely brilliant, with very knowledgeable and interesting trainers, the kids loved it, and the birds - eagle and all - get to perch on your gloved arm. Definitely a "must for visitors." By the way, thank you so much to the lovely English lady who drove us all back to the Arabian Center, you were a lifesaver!

BEG is right. There are no steps or slopes to worry about. Perfect for wheelchair access. Oh, I'd LOVE to be able to go again! Have fun!

From memory I can't think of anything that would stop a wheelchair user from accessing the show. It's all on one level and the seating is very well spaced. The toilet is upstairs though. Give them a call if you need further details, they're very nice and helpful. It's well worth a watch, I can highly recommend it!
