Northern California Coast

Thanks to Have wheelchair will travel we had a list of California Beaches that have beach wheelchairs. We found this one at Doran Regional Park.

Gull Lake Recreation Area had Accessible Swimming Beach

It was a very nice blacktop bath all the way to the beach. It made in very easy for Macey to transfer to the water to swim.

Wheelchair ramp for HaRV

This is how we get Macey in and out of HaRV.  We purchased this portable wheelchair ramp.

Accessibility at Nickelodeon Universe at the Mall of America

When we arrive at the park we were told to go to Guest Services and get a Rider Safety Guide.
When we picked up this guide a manager came and explained that I would not have to have a ticket to ride with Macey, and that we would be allowed access through handicap entrances. These entrances were often the exit and were well marked, so they were easy to find. Our favorite thing about it was it gave us the option to ride twice without getting off. This cut down on the number of times Macey had to transfer.  It saved us time and energy! Besides this, I have two ten year olds. What kid does not want to ride again!
Overall we had a great time at Nickelodeon Universe !

Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore Wheelchair Accessibility

As I said before one of my goals for writing this blog was to include information about the places we visit that are wheelchair accesible. We found Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore to be very accessible.  We found this link to The Disabled Traveler's Companion to be very helpful in planing our day.  The area we visited was the Portage Lakefront and Riverwalk. It had wheelchair access all the way out the riverwalk and completely down to the beach, with a space to park her wheelchair.  We had a beautiful day on Lake Michigan!
