Low-stimulus opening hours, special tours for guests with dementia, individual tours for blind and deaf people, free electric wheelchairs and the bear mobile for people with limited mobility are just some of the measures in place. The grounds are designed to be barrier-free and have a few slopes that can be easily negotiated with an electric wheelchair.
