Accessibility assessment

Object description

The zoo is very poorly accessible. The parking spots are not suitably designed. The ticket office windows at the entrance are placed too high and do not have contrasting visual markings. The paths in the zoo are unpaved (gravel or soil) and do not have tactile floor markings. The paths near the entrance can be traversed by wheelchair users; further afield, the paths turn uphill and the slope is too steep. The ramps to the sea lion exhibit are provided, but they are not suitably designed for wheelchair users. Part of the fencing for the cheetah and the bear enclosures is completely glassed in, enabling wheelchair users to easily observe the animals. Numerous access points to individual buildings to different animal habitats feature high steps in the form of wooden beams. Many glass surfaces near the fenced in habitats do not have contrasting visual markings. The zoo also has a shop and a café. There is not sufficient room to manoeuvre in the shop, and the shape of the tables in the café prevent front access to wheelchair users. There are accessible toilet rooms near the café.
