1. Channel Islands National Park

Access to the park is by boat, and the park has guidance to the limited transportation available, and to island trails for people with mobility impairment.

The park visitor center, however, is designed to create an ambient environment like being on the islands themselves. There are tactile exhibits, sounds, surfaces, and live streaming video from the islands. And because the visitor center is surrounded on three sides by water in Ventura harbor, you experience the smell of the ocean when you visit.

The website features virtual tours of the islands using Google Trekker, so you can do a virtual hike of the islands from home.

2. Statue Of Liberty National Monument

Don’t let mobility issues stop you from visiting the crown of the Statue of Liberty. The park has wheelchairs available to loan, and an elevator can take you to the very top of the crown. The website gives you guidance on other options in the pedestal and on the stairs.

Exhibits feature tactile exhibits. There are ASL and assisted audio tours available, and the grounds, restaurant, and boat operations are all designed for accessibility.
