Jarvis Access status

Amber — some concerns

Independent assessment

A Changing Places toilet and alternative step-free route are valuable, but parts of the historic aquarium remain physically restricted.

Why this rating

The venue provides a beach-ramp and underpass entrance, a Changing Places toilet, sensory information, assistance-dog access and free carer admission. The Ocean Display auditorium is not fully wheelchair accessible and a raised edge keeps wheelchairs at a distance from some Victorian-arcade displays.
